A New Jersey teen managed to sneak past security to reach the spire of the One World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York
Sixteen-year-old Justin Casquejo of Weehawken, New Jersey was arrested at 6:00 a.m. on Sunday for criminal trespass, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

According to court papers obtained by the NY Post, Casquejo slipped into the site through a hole in the fence, and hitched a ride on an elevator to the 88th floor, without having any official identification. From there, he took the stairs to the 104th floor, where the security guard was asleep.
“I walked around the construction site and figured out how to access the Freedom Tower rooftop," the teen says in the court papers.
After spending two glorious hours snapping selfies on the top of the building, Casquejo was eventually caught by a construction worker as he made his way to the ground.
This is apparently not the first urban adventure for the teen. On Twitter, he has previously mentioned exploring several other buildings with friends.
