A man is being hailed a hero after risking his life to save six people — including two infants — from a burning apartment in the northern district of Paris last week.
In a video shared by a TikTok user, 39-year-old Fousseynou Cissé was seen standing on a narrow ledge of a sixth-floor window as smoke billowed.
Cissé went to the neighbouring apartment, climbed out of the window and stood 20 metres high on a railing linking the two units.
As panic erupted, Cissé calmly urged two families trapped inside to pass their children out the window.
The footage, reportedly taken July 4, showed him helping two babies to safety through a nearby window before assisting four other people from the smoke-filled apartment.
