seeder Posted August 8, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2017 what an awful thing to do! There is no blood or gore in this story and the woman was OK Quote Putney Bridge: CCTV of jogger 'pushing' woman in front of bus A woman has escaped serious injury after appearing to be pushed by a jogger into the path of a bus. CCTV of the incident shows a man running along Putney Bridge in west London and appearing to shove the 33-year-old into the road. The oncoming bus is forced to swerve into the adjacent lane to avoid hitting her. Sgt Mat Knowles said: "It was only due to the superb quick reactions of the bus driver that she was not hit by the vehicle." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-40860045/putney-bridge-cctv-of-jogger-pushing-woman-in-front-of-bus 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stiff Posted August 8, 2017 Popular Post #2 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Saw this earlier and thought 'Why?' What on earth possessed him to do it? And then jog back and ignore her? There's some strange people out there. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sees Posted August 8, 2017 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Well, I guess the woman MAY have said something to him....something caused him to act suddenly like that didn't it? Still, no excuse for such an aggressive reaction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tcgram Posted August 8, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I do hope he gets charges pressed against him, there is absolutely no excuse for acting that way. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted August 8, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 8, 2017 It looks like he was in his own world, he was not aware of the bus coming behind and this poor woman was "in his way" and he was not going to move to the side, which he should have done as she was walking and he was jogging, meaning he was "speeding" in walking terms. I so hope they catch this guy, he is likely to be a regular jogger, hence he thinks he owns that part of the area!! Quote Officers said the jogger ran the other way across the bridge around 15 minutes later and the victim attempted to speak to him, but "he did not acknowledge her" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-london-40860045/putney-bridge-cctv-of-jogger-pushing-woman-in-front-of-bus speak to him? i would have stopped him, if she was still on the bridge 15 mins later, were the people helping her still there too, i would think so, so why speak to him....they should have made a citizens arrest. Hopefully the bus driver has got this all on film: from a request for this info by someone: Quote Other vehicles passing by the bus exterior may be visible from an interior camera via a bus window but they are not the focus of the recording and are not likely to be identifiable. A forward facing camera from the drivers cab area views approaching bus stops and general road traffic conditions ahead of the bus. Retention of the recorded data is the responsibility of the individual operators. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/cctv_mounted_on_exterior_of_buse 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeder Posted August 10, 2017 Author #12 Share Posted August 10, 2017 They got him!! Quote Putney Bridge bus-push jogger suspect arrested Police hunting a jogger who appeared to push a woman into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge have arrested a man. The Met Police said a 41-year-old was detained at an address in Chelsea on Thursday morning on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. The arrest comes after CCTV footage was released that showed the woman, 33, narrowly avoid serious injury due to the bus driver's quick reactions. The suspect is in custody at a south London police station, the Met said. On Wednesday, the force said it had received a "huge response" to its appeal for information. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-40889511 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole difference between manslaughter and murder is the intent, so if anything it would be attempted murder. I'm not quite sure he shoved her here though to be honest. He barged her, but I'm not sure he attempted to shove her onto the road. Edited August 10, 2017 by ExpandMyMind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlitterRose Posted August 10, 2017 #14 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Is he mentally ill? What possesses someone to do something like that? It's like he just considered her an obstacle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to defend him colliding with her, because that was a serious dick move, but I always move out of the way of joggers to let them through, since it's far more awkward for them to change direction than someone walking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us men are usually much stronger than women....running and shoving someone is VERY forceful.....any decent man would have run around an obstacle like a person....not tried to just push them outta the way....he is a real dik and could have killed her. And for what? Just because she was walking in a public place and had as much right to be there as he did? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internetperson Posted August 10, 2017 #21 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I run every other day and I can see why the guy is frustrated but there's no excuse for what he did. I do get p***ed when people have a self righteous attitude of "why don't you move I don't have to" yadda yadda. Not everybody does it but the ones that do it's annoying. That being said I've never even said anything to anyone. I try to have a positive mindset and just use it to add to my run, if I have to move out of someones way then I'll have to run in uneven grass or whatever and I have to pick my feet up higher. There's one time a girl in a car was acting like she was going to hit me in her car and that time I became infuriated. I suspect she did this A because she felt safe in her car and B there was a guy as a passenger. But that's a whole other story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murder would denote intent. Either way, it is irritating to see the media outlets present it as "she was in his way, he barged into her" - he comes over to her bit of the pavement and pushes her. That's assault. Pavement rage is a very real thing in London. The pavements are overcrowded, and 40% are usually staring at their phones rather than looking where they're going. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Posted August 10, 2017 #24 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Well he was arrested for GBH but hasn't been charged yet. If they do stick with that charge, I fear he will get off extremely leniently, considering the ramifications. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 00.04 of the video, you see him going into her line of walking. He was jogging slightly towards the right, and yet goes into the middle towards her line of walking. Note when she is pushed, she is walking in the same spot as the previous walker, not in the line of the jogger, so if the jogger managed to miss him, he should have missed her too. No this dick did this deliberately, he did not like the fact that there were walkers on the bridge as he believed he owned the bloody place!!! hope they arrest him and give him a cell he can own instead. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
