Steve-O's Tower Bridge Stunt Lands Him in Police Custody
Jackass star Steve-O was detained by police after jumping off London's Tower Bridge into the River Thames as a promotional stunt for his comedy tour. Although he expected trouble, being British prevented deportation. The police response was excessive, but they were ultimately friendly and didn't press charges. The police's main concern was the recent increase in suicide attempts from the bridge. Steve-O clarified that he doesn't glamorize harm and encourages those in distress to seek support. The polluted water was the most dangerous aspect of the jump, but Steve-O, known for challenging his immune system, wasn't worried about health issues.
