Steve-O was detained by police after jumping from the Tower of London Bridge on his recent trip to England where he is currently on tour making his third comedy special.
The Jackass star, 49, drew quite a crowd on Thursday as he counted down before plunging into the River Thames.
He was then detained and spent time in the back of a police car before being released, according to TMZ.
Steve-O told the outlet that police were concerned the stunt would inspire others to jump off the landmark — possibly to their deaths.
Undeterred by danger, Steve-O revealed that he had also jumped from one of London’s famous red double-decker buses.

He said the bus jump was the more difficult landing due to the impact of the concrete versus splashing into the water.
The actor took to his Instagram story and shared footage of himself on top of the bus with a British flag flying over his head.
He and his crew used a ladder to get him there before he jumped to the ground.
Steve-O thanked photographer Mike Chudley for capturing this epic moment.
With all eyes on him, Steve-O took the opportunity to encourage his UK fans to get a ticket to a taping of his comedy special, Bucket List, on Friday 14th July.
For both stunts, Steve-O rocked Union Jack, including an umbrella, bucket hat, and an ‘I [love] London t shirt.
He has been doing stand-up comedy for over a decade, starting in 2010.
The beloved TV personality already has two specials under his belt.
Steve-O released ‘Guilty As Charged’ on Showtime in 2016 and ‘Gnarly’ premiered in 2020.
But he is most recognized for appearing on MTV’s stunt show Jackass starring Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera, among others.
Steve-O is currently on his Bucket List tour, which kicked off in January in the United States.
His first US How was held on January 11 in Cheyenne, Wyoming and was scheduled to end on February 5 in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Not one to be daunted by danger, Steve-O revealed he also jumped from one of London’s famous red double decker buses
