All for love and human connection. @livejn Shot by @tombruise_ . Tried to kill myself in jail yesterday 🙂 I was lucky enough to have someone to help save me from myself. That kind of connection is my work’s and my life’s purpose and I’m going to continue to work my ass off to inspire. Unfortunately that can’t embody itself in rooftopping much anymore, but I’ll work just the same. I’ve got a big whole to climb out of. Luckily that’s what I’m best at 😉 . * Looking to to do some amazing collaborations, let’s work together! * Check out the new film on my YouTube channel!

Casquejo’s post follows his Thursday night arrest by police, after witnesses spotted him engaging in acrobatics on top of Paramount Tower, a 52-story high-rise in Manhattan.
 
The arrest adds to Casquejo’s list of high-rise trespasses including the 1 World Trade Center back in 2014 which has built the teen daredevil a large online following for his stunts.
