15 Jun
Summary
- Suspect in 2017 Putney Bridge incident arrested.
- Woman narrowly avoided serious injury from bus.
- Investigation reopened after new information surfaced.
A significant development has occurred in the "Putney Pusher" case, with a 44-year-old man arrested on Monday, June 15, 2026. The arrest is linked to an incident that took place on May 5, 2017, when a woman was reportedly pushed into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge in west London.
At the time of the 2017 incident, CCTV footage appeared to show a runner pushing the 33-year-old woman. Miraculously, the bus driver managed to swerve, preventing the woman from sustaining serious injuries. Police initially interviewed 50 men and arrested three suspects, but no charges were ever filed, and the investigation was closed in 2018.
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm. The suspect has been taken into police custody. The reopening of the case follows the emergence of new information, bringing a potential resolution to the nearly decade-old mystery.
