Casmine Aska, 17, was ordered held without bail Sunday.
The twisted teen accused of pushing his 9-year-old neighbor off the roof of their five-story Bronx apartment building told cops it was an accident — but admitted he didn’t go for help.
“I grabbed Freddy around the legs,” Casmine Aska, 17, said, referring to victim Freddy Martin, according to court papers.

“His feet were off the ground. I turned around. I slipped and Freddy fell. I did not call 911. I did not tell my mother. I did not check to see if Freddy was okay.”
Bizarrely, Aska said, “I did not hear the thud until I went into the apartment.”

Freddy Martin fell five stories from the roof of 1545 Nelson Ave. in the
Bronx. His father, Fred Martin, said, "My son is very strong — he will
survive.”
Prosecutors say Aska dragged Martin up the stairs of their building on Nelson Ave. in Morris Heights on Friday, picked the boy up and threw him off the roof.
Before losing consciousness, Freddy managed to tell EMTs, “Cas dragged me to the roof and threw me off — I don’t know why,” according to court papers.
Aska’s lawyer, Katherine Dyer, insisted in Bronx Criminal court Sunday that the plunge was “a tragic accident.” She described the
teen as a dedicated high school student and church volunteer.
Aska has four prior arrests related to robbery, assault, harassment and menacing, law enforcement sources said.
Aska was ordered held without bail. He asked to speak to his teary-eyed mother as he was led from the courtroom.

Freddy remains in a medically induced coma with collapsed lungs and a broken
leg, arm and ribs. He told EMTs before losing consciousness that Aska
threw him from the roof.
Martin, who loves baseball and painting, remains on life support and in a medically induced coma with collapsed lungs and a broken leg, arm and ribs.
He is expected to live, according to his family.
“My son is very strong — he will survive,” said the boy’s father, Fred Martin, who spent Sunday at his son’s side at New York Presbyterian-Columbia Medical Center.
“It is a miracle.”
