Police are hunting a jogger who appeared to push a woman into the path of an oncoming bus.

The 33-year-old victim was walking across Putney Bridge in London when a male jogger knocked her into the road.

Luckily she escaped with minor injuries when the quick-thinking bus driver swerved to avoid her. Passengers then got off and came to her aid.

But 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 running.

The jogger is described as white, aged early to mid 30s, with brown eyes and short brown hair. He was wearing a light grey t-shirt and dark blue shorts.

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

"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."
 
This guy has to be an A#1 class asshole so yeah, people that know him will probably line up to identify him from the CCTV clip.
 
He came back across the bridge...
well that narrows things down a bit.

Ideally he gets what is coming to him.
Like turning his skull into a parking space for a bus and his ass into a bike rack.
 
I don't get it. She was walking on her side of the sidewalk doing nothing; he was jogging down the center of the sidewalk. Does he think no one is allowed to use the sidewalk just because he's exercising or something? Maybe he tried to hit on her before and got ignored? I really need to know the motivation on this one.
 
Now there's an argument online that she stuck out her leg to trip him and he pushed her in retaliation, possibly not thinking about the fact that a bus was approaching them and he was pushing her into the bus's path. People are swearing that the CCTV footage shows her trying to trip him, but I don't see it.

An investment banker from California has been arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of a London bus, but he claims he was in the U.S. when the incident took place.

Eric Bellquist has "irrefutable proof" he was not in the United Kingdom when the alleged shove took place in May, his lawyers say.

Bellquist, 41, was taken to a south London police station for questioning, and was later released pending further inquiries, according to cops.

In a statement, Bellquist's lawyers say that their client has been "wrongly implicated."

Because they are crazy misogynists. They even say she should have gotten out of his way, that's why. When he CLEARLY moved over to do this. I want to push those people under a bus when I see the BS they are spewing. Her leg goes out, but it's as she is falling.
 
It seems that they may bump shoulders and he pushes his hand out to push her over, but the way that it looks in the video, she's as far over to the left as she can get and he runs into her, not the other way around. He pushes her because he's pissed that she touched him.

Maybe, but they didn't have to get that close. She was walking straight on, he was jogging straight on. Then for some reason he veered to his right straight into her. There was plenty of room prior to that. I still can't believe that driver was able to avoid her head that quickly and avoid all that traffic. That driver should get a raise!
 
That's exactly what I was saying, she's as far to the left on the sidewalk as she can get, he has the other 95% of the sidewalk to run on but he still runs into her and then pushes her like he's disgusted that she touched him.
 
London police have cleared the American investment banker they previously accused of pushing a jogger in front of a bus earlier this year.

Eric Bellquist, who works at the London-based Hutton Collins Partners private equity firm, “has now been eliminated from the investigation,” Metropolitan Police said in a press release Saturday that didn’t name the banker.

The 41-year-old San Diego native was arrested Thursday after police believed he was the man captured on May 5 surveillance video pushing a woman toward a bus.

Bellquist’s lawyers disputed the accusations because their “irrefutable proof” he was in the U.S. at the time.

"Consequently we expect a swift resolution to this wholly untrue allegation," the law firm representing him said in a tweeted statement.

So now London police are again searching for who pushed the 33-year-old victim while on the Putney Bridge.

This afternoon, Metropolitan Police announced Mr Bellquist had been eliminated from the investigation, while the hunt for the jogger continues.

So they released this man's name as the suspected jogger and arrested him without even checking if this foreigner was in the country at the time of the incident?? That seems very incompetent.
