<P>BANGKOK (AFP) – A Thai fireman turned superhero when he dressed up as
comic-book character <SPAN class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237884151_0>Spider-Man</SPAN>
to coax a frightened eight-year-old from a balcony, police said Tuesday.</P>
<P>Teachers at a special needs school in Bangkok alerted authorities on Monday
when an autistic pupil, scared of attending his first day at school, sat out on
the third-floor ledge and refused to come inside, a police sergeant told
AFP.</P>
<P>Despite teachers' efforts to beckon the boy inside, he refused to budge until
his mother mentioned her son's love of superheroes, prompting fireman Sonchai
Yoosabai to take a novel approach to the problem.</P>
<P>The rescuer dashed back to his fire station and made a quick change into a
Spider-Man costume before returning to the boy, he said.</P>
<P>"I told him Spider-Man is here to rescue you, no monsters are going to attack
you and I told him to walk slowly towards me as running could be dangerous,"
Somchai told local television.</P>
<P>The young boy immediately stood up and walked into his rescuer's arms, police
said.</P>
<P>Somchai said he keeps the Spider-Man costume and an outfit of Japanese
television character Ultraman at the station in order to liven up <SPAN
class=yshortcuts id=lw_1237884151_1>school fire drills</SPAN>.</P>
