Spider-Man rescues kid from window ledge

An unusual disguise has helped a Bangkok fireman rescue an eight-year-old boy who had climbed on to a third-floor window ledge, Thai police say.

The firefighter dressed up as the comic book superhero Spider-Man in order to coax the boy, who is autistic, from his dangerous perch.

Police said teachers had alerted the fire station after the boy began crying and climbed out of a classroom window.

Read the full story at BBC News

Why the hell are children at a special needs school able to access a 3rd floor window in the first place. Do they just leave it wide open or something? Pretty cool the man went out of his way to get his Spider-Man costume to save the little guy.
