Jackass star Steve-O's Tower Bridge jump lands him in police custody

Steve-O, the renowned Jackass actor famous for his daring exploits, has found himself in a bit of a pickle following his latest stunt, involving a leap from London's iconic Tower Bridge. 

True to his reputation as an adrenaline junkie, Steve-O is currently in the United Kingdom to shoot his third comedy special.

TMZ reports that the superstar pulled his latest stunt in front of a crown which can be seen shouting in surprise in the video shared by the publication.

The 49-year-old jumped into River Thames from Tower Bridge with a union jack umbrella in his hand.

As the video proceeds, police can be seen waiting for him to get back to safety and put his shirt back on to take him into custody. He was released shortly after.

He said that police were worried that his stunt could inspire others to jump off the historical bridge and people can get hurt or potentially die in the process, reports Metro.

It wasn't the first stunt he pulled out in the UK as Steve revealed that he had also jumped off the double-decker bus in London, adding that it was actually harder to land than his Tower Bridge jump, mainly because hitting concrete after a jump is harder than hitting the water.

The comedian is currently on his Bucket List Tour's UK leg.

Steve said, "This UK tour is so much fun, I could not be more thrilled to be tapping my Bucket List special in London."
