The hooded daredevil caught on video recklessly scaling the Roosevelt Island tramway Monday and sending cops scrambling to bring him to safety has been charged in the stupid stunt.

Miguel Martinez, 20, of Oceanside, LI, was charged with reckless endangerment, obstruction of governmental administration and criminal trespass in the brazen incident that unfolded around 7 p.m., authorities said. 

Footage obtained by The Post shows the masked Martinez nonchalantly walking back and forth along the gangway of the tramway’s 250-feet-tall support tower on the Manhattan side.

Miguel Martinez, 20, was charged with reckless endangerment in the Monday evening stunt, police said.

At one point, he descends and climbs a series of short ladders on the tower and makes his way out onto an I-beam barely wide enough to accommodate his feet, the nail-biting video shows.

Shocked New Yorkers called 911, prompting cops to respond to the scene in climbing gear. 

The brave first responders made their way to the tower’s peak, secured Martinez in safety gear and brought him down to the ground unharmed, police said.

The thrill-seeker was taken by paramedics to Weill-Cornell Medical Center, according to the FDNY.

There was no indication that Martinez — who has no prior arrests in the Big Apple — scaled the tower as part of a protest or for a cause, cops said.
