MADRID: Spanish authorities said on Wednesday they are considering giving residency to an undocumented migrant from Senegal after he rescued a wheelchair-bound man from a burning, second-storey apartment.
As emergency officials neared the scene, the rescuer panicked."If the police saw me they would confiscate my goods," said Sow, who lives with his girlfriend and seven-month-old daughter in the nearby city of Gandia."And if they take them from me, we're not eating tomorrow." The story of the dramatic rescue made waves across the country, drawing comparisons with the migrant from Mali who last year scaled a Paris apartment block to save a boy dangling from a fourth-floor balcony.
Sow found out days later that neighbours were hailing him as a hero."I'm just happy that the man is fine," he said, adding that the man he rescued was treated for burns and smoke inhalation.
