Teen surrenders to police after outrageous skyscraper stunt: video
A teenage daredevil has surrendered to police after videos posted on social media showed him cheating death by dangling from New York skyscrapers.
Police say 19-year-old Justin Casquejo, who gained attention when he climbed the World Trade Centerâs centrepiece tower in 2014, handed  himself in on Friday and faces charges of reckless endangerment and trespassing.
Casquejo is from Weehawken, New Jersey. He was sentenced to community service for scaling the 540-metre-tall One World Trade Center.
The recent videos show him perched precariously on buildings and scaffolding near Central Park.
The teenâs lawyer says whether someone acted recklessly in the eyes of the law and whether he acted recklessly in the eyes of the average person are âcompletely different issuesâ.
Lawyer Jeremy Saland says thereâs more to Casquejo than âwhat you are seeing on YouTube or Instagramâ.
