Putney Pusher Suspect Found Dead
16 Sep
Summary
- Suspect in 2017 bus incident arrested in June.
- Victim narrowly escaped injury thanks to bus swerving.
- Death treated as unexpected but not suspicious.
The individual suspected of being the "Putney Pusher," responsible for an infamous 2017 incident in London, has been found deceased. Nicholas Brandram, 44, was arrested earlier this year in June on suspicion of grievous bodily harm in connection with the event that occurred on Putney Bridge in May 2017.
Shocking closed-circuit television footage at the time showed a jogger inexplicably pushing a 33-year-old woman onto the ground, directly into the path of an oncoming bus. The bus driver managed to swerve, narrowly avoiding a tragedy.
Despite significant media attention, a suspect was not identified at the time, and no motive was ever established. Brandram, who was also reportedly arrested on suspicion of drug possession, was found unresponsive at his home in west London on Tuesday. Police confirmed a 44-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, with his death currently treated as unexpected but not suspicious.
