CCTV shows jogger 'push' woman in front of London bus

London police have released dramatic CCTV footage of the moment a jogger appears to push a woman into the path of an oncoming bus.

The 33-year-old woman was walking across Putney Bridge on May 5 when a male jogger knocked her over onto the road and into the path of an oncoming bus, which narrowly missed her.

The bus stopped and some passengers rushed to the victim's aid. She received minor injuries from the incident.

Police say about 15 minutes later, the jogger came back the other way across the bridge. The victim tried to speak to him but he did not acknowledge her and carried on jogging.

"The victim was put in extreme danger when she was knocked into the road," Sergeant Mat Knowles, the investigating officer from the Putney Safer Neighbourhood Team, said.

"It was only due to the superb quick reactions of the bus driver that she was not hit by the vehicle.

"We are keen to speak to the jogger in the CCTV about what happened that morning.

"We would urge him or anyone who recognises him to get in touch with us as soon as possible."
