Shocking footage…

Police in London have released footage which shows a jogger pushing a woman into the path of an oncoming bus.

Dramatic CCTV footage shows a man jogging along Putney Bridge, in west London, when he appears to shove the woman onto the road.

The quick-reacting bus driver managed to swerve into the adjacent lane and avoid her.

The man jogged back the opposite direction on the bridge a short time later and when the woman tried to speak to him, he didn’t acknowledge her and continued jogging.

“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,” said sergeant Mat Knowls, the investigating officer.

“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.”
