AceShowbiz - Steve-O apparently got detained across the pond for his daredevil act. When spending time in England, the "Jackass" star landed himself in trouble with the police after he pulled a risky stunt on one of London's famous landmarks.
The 49-year-old comedian told TMZ that after he jumped off from the Tower of London Bridge to the River Thames, he was quickly apprehended by cops. He went on to claim that he spent the majority of Thursday afternoon, July 6 in a police cruiser.
On the reason why the cops detained him, Steve was told by the officers that his stunt was going to motivate others to jump from the iconic bridge. Fortunately, the cops eventually let him go. He also told TMZ that the water in the river was filthy.
Steve's crazy stunt was documented in a video obtained by the outlet. In the clip, he could be seen attempting the daring stunt following a countdown in front of an audience. At that time, he was all dressed up in a Union Jack outfit.
The stunt performer wore a short-sleeved white tee with decoration of "I [red heart] London" on it. He added a pair of gray shorts, a bucket hat, a pair of long socks and an umbrella, all of which were decorated with the United Kingdom's flag patterns.
Aside from his bridge stunt, Steve revealed to TMZ that he also jumped off from one of London's famous double-decker red buses. He claimed that he considered the stunt to be way more dangerous than jumping off the bridge. He shared the bus stunt photos via his Instagram Story on Thursday, July 6.
In the first picture, Steve was captured making his way up on the bus using a ladder. A number of men could be seen helping him hold the ladder while he went up. Over the photo, he bragged, "My ladder plan worked so great, can't wait to show you guys the professional photo I was after!!!"
Steve followed up the Story with another post that displayed him jumping on top of the double-decker red bus while holding up the United Kingdom's flag with both of his hands. Along with the snap, he promoted his comedy special which took place in London on July 14.
As for the third picture he uploaded, Steve shared another moment of his bus stunt. He could be clearly seen wearing a short-sleeved yellow shirt, a pair of long black pants, white sneakers and black sunglasses, whereas over the photo, he thanked his photographer by writing, "Huge thanks to @mikechudley, the professional photographer who shot these photos!!!"
