Revealed: Father of boy, 4, saved by 'Spider-Man' hero in Paris was out playing Pokemon Go while his son was dangling from a fourth-floor balcony after climbing out of an open window
'The father left the flat just as the incident was unfolding. He went shopping and then decided to play Pokemon Go in the street which took a little time before he returned home.'
The prosecutor revealed that the window was left open and there was no safety grille on the balcony to stop a child climbing up and falling over.

The father, who has not been named, has been told to appear in court in September and could face two years in jail for failing to care for a child under French law.
