Police have identified the man who survived a dramatic jump from the Brooklyn Bridge on Sunday after climbing the landmark while naked.
Galymzhan Abaildayev, 44, now faces multiple charges after he was recorded scaling the bridge’s north tower on the Manhattan side, removing his clothing and plunging into the East River, authorities said.
Before the jump, the Brooklyn resident also placed several flags atop the bridge, including a Kazakhstan flag, sources told The Post.
Harbor Unit officers pulled Abaildayev from the water shortly afterward and took him to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
Police said Monday that Abaildayev was charged with reckless endangerment, making graffiti, public lewdness, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct.

Video from the scene captured stunned bystanders screaming as Abaildayev leaped from the bridge while appearing to hold a piece of clothing or a bag over his head like a makeshift parachute.
The Brooklyn Bridge’s two suspension towers stand about 278 feet tall.
