"Jackass" star Steve-o was arrested after climbing a 100-foot construction crane in Hollywood as a form of protest against Seaworld.

Steve-o, whose real name is Stephen Glover, scaled the crane around 8:00 PM in Hollywood, after which, around 80 firemen arrived at the scene after receiving calls of a possible suicide attempt.

Reaching the top, Steve-o managed to take a photo of the view and posted it on Facebook with the caption: "Did I mention that I'm really high in the air? Hearing sirens now."

"That is a lot, a lot of firetrucks," Steve-o said, while recording a video of the horde of firetrucks 100 ft. below. "Anyone wanna bail me out of jail?"

Did I mention that I'm really high in the air? Hearing sirens now. Check the video I posted at 7pm to see what I'm doing. I'll stream live again soon for the stunts.

During the stunt, "Jackass" star Steve-o was wearing a "Blackfish" t-shirt and an inflatable orca, according to The Los Angeles Times.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) was not particularly pleased with Steve-o's stunt and will reportedly book the star on suspicion of setting a firework without a permit, trespassing and conspiracy to commit a crime.

"We have other people we need to attend to," LAPD Lt. Michael Ling said. "It's a mess."

Steve-o reportedly descended the crane around 9:00 PM, after which, he was taken into custody.

According to NY Daily News, Steve-o, who's known for pulling outrageous stunts for MTV's "Jackass" and "Wildboyz," scaled the crane as part of his series of SeaWorld protests.

A few months ago, "Jackass" star Steve-o was cited for altering a freeway sign in San Diego. He was fined with $239 for interference with traffic devices.

Steve-o also uploaded a video on Youtube, in which the 41-year-old changed the phrase on the freeway sign to "SeaWorld Sucks."
