Social media users have been left in shocked by the climb.

One person said: “Legend has it, he rode the American eagle down.”

Other viewers urged the influencer to give up his dangerous hobby, telling him to “stop risking” his life.

In 2016, Justin was sentenced to 30 days community service in charges of reckless endangerment and trespassing for scaling the 1,776-foot-tall One World Trade Center.

In 2017, the then teen was sentenced to three years’ probation after climbing a 52-story condo building, as well as dangling from a spire at the top of another complex.
