A base jumper has taken a leap off a stalled development which will one day be Auckland’s tallest residential building, a move slammed as “reckless” by police.<\/p>\n

The person, dubbed \u201ciliesnec\u201d on social media, filmed themselves leaping from the 187m-high Seascape tower, a stalled residential development.<\/p>\n

Video shows them leaping from the building before deploying a parachute and landing on Beach Road.<\/p>\n

“First jump with the pilot chute stowed,” they wrote in French on the post.<\/p>\n

“Pure joy.”<\/p>\n

Police said it was aware of the video.<\/p>\n

“Police are aware of a video circulating on social media showing a person base jumping off a building in Auckland\u2019s CBD,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“Inquiries are ongoing to identify those involved, and whether they had authorisation to access the building jumped from.<\/p>\n

“Police want to remind the public acts like these are reckless and pose a risk to not only the person jumping, but people on the ground.” <\/p>\n
