American Says He’s Not London Jogger Who Shoved Woman in Front of Bus
But on Friday, a London law firm said that it was representing the man who had been arrested — a
41-year-old American private-equity executive who lives in London — and that he was innocent.

LONDON — What appeared to be an open-and-shut case involving a jogger in London who
pushed a woman in front of a bus is suddenly — and surprisingly — open again.
Duncan Lewis Solicitors said that Our client has been wrongly implicated in this matter; he categorically denies being the individual concerned and has irrefutable proof
that he was in the United States at the time of the incident,
The police this week shared a video of the May 5 incident on Putney Bridge, which resulted in the woman’s tumbling into a traffic lane
and nearly being hit by a bus, and they asked the public to help identify the man who pushed her.
"Consequently we expect a swift resolution to this wholly untrue allegation." The law firm identified
its client as Eric Bellquist, a partner at the private-equity firm Hutton Collins.
Mr. Bellquist, who graduated in 1999 from the University of Colorado at Boulder, did not respond to messages sent by email, Facebook and LinkedIn,
but his lawyer responded to queries with a copy of the statement released on Twitter.
