Video surveillance captured an incident that occurred in 2017 on a bridge in Putney, showing a jogger deliberately pushing a woman into the path of an oncoming bus. The footage, released to the public, clearly depicts the jogger’s actions and the subsequent collision with the vehicle.

The incident took place on a busy thoroughfare where the bus was travelling at normal speed. After the woman was forced into the bus’s lane, the driver was unable to avoid a collision, resulting in serious injuries to the victim. Emergency services responded promptly, and the woman was taken to hospital for treatment.

Police investigations identified the individual seen in the CCTV footage as the primary suspect in the assault. The suspect was subsequently located and questioned as part of the ongoing inquiry into the attack.

During the course of the investigation, authorities discovered that the suspect had died at his residence. The death was reported as having occurred at his home, and police have confirmed that the suspect is no longer available for questioning.

The case remains open, with investigators continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding both the assault and the suspect’s death. No further details have been released regarding the outcome of any legal proceedings or the status of the victim’s recovery.
