The Jackass star Steve-O has been detained by police in Los Angeles after climbing a 100ft crane as part of a protest against SeaWorld.
Steve-O, real name Stephen Glover, filmed himself live on top of the crane and posted a series of videos on Facebook. One video, captioned “Anyone wanna bail me out of jail” shows a number of fire engines gathered underneath.
In a post on his Facebook page before scaling the crane, he wrote: “We're going to do a big dangerous stunt in Los Angeles tomorrow that will probably get me in a lot of trouble, and you can watch it happen via a live stream, right here on Facebook, starting at exactly 7pm PST."

A spokesman for the LAPD told the Associated Press several ambulances and fire trucks were sent to the scene because they were unsure whether he needed rescuing. He said the fire trucks were there in a bid to cushion him incase he fell.
The 41-year-old also reportedly inflated a large balloon with "SeaWorld Sucks” written across it at the top. He was arrested as soon as he returned to the ground.
