Brazilian migrant who saved child from balcony fall in Spain hailed as a hero

Felipe David says he acted without thinking' when he saw the boy had gotten into trouble at Alicante apartment

A Brazilian migrant living in Spain has been hailed as a hero after he risked his own life to rescue a young child who was dangling precariously off a second-floor balcony in the coastal city of Alicante.

Felipe David Souza, a 29-year-old painter, was preparing to head home on Wednesday when he heard screams outside the apartment where he was working. He glanced out and saw that a crowd of people had gathered on the street below.
