London Jogger Suspected of Shoving Woman Into Bus’s Path Is Arrested
A man believed to be the jogger who shoved a woman out of his way — knocking her down
and into the path of a bus, which nearly hit her — was arrested and charged with causing grievous bodily harm on Thursday, the London police announced.
In the video, the jogger, wearing a light gray T-shirt
and blue athletic shorts, can be seen running on the sidewalk (in Britain, the pavement) westward along Putney Bridge, which crosses the River Thames in Southwest London.
Surveillance camera video released by the police shows the moment a male jogger shoved a woman into the path of an oncoming bus on a bridge.
The encounter occurred around 7:40 a.m. on May 5, but it came to the attention of the public
only this week, when the police released surveillance video that was widely shared online.
“About 15 minutes later the jogger came back the other way across the bridge,” they said in a statement on Thursday.
Moments later — and seemingly at random, out of nowhere — he abruptly
and violently shoves another pedestrian, who was also walking east, into the path of an oncoming bus.
