Thai ‘Spider-Man’ to the rescue<\/h1>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Police said teachers had alerted the fire station after the boy began crying and climbed out of a classroom window.<\/p>\n

It was reportedly his first day at the special needs school.<\/p>\n

Efforts by the teachers to persuade the pupil to come back inside had failed.<\/p>\n

But a remark by his mother about his passion for comic superheroes prompted fireman Somchai Yoosabai to rush back to the station, where he kept a Spider-Man costume in his locker.<\/p>\n

The sight of Mr Somchai dressed as Spider-Man and holding a glass of juice for him, brought a big smile to the boy’s face, and he promptly threw himself into the arms of his “superhero”, police said.<\/p>\n
