Who pushed that woman over into the path of a bus.

What a complete and utter wanker - who the hell does that?

Thank goodness she was OK (physically at least- she'll probably be rather nervous about walking along the pavement now Sad

actually Cripsheets, she lifts her left leg, it is almost at his groin height! what a bizarre sequence of events!

Travis1 · 08/08/2017 15:24

Are they talking about because her legs up? Her leg is up because shes falling. And he ran right back passed them all 15 minutes later and still wouldn't stop? Bloody scary!

Happytobefree17 · 08/08/2017 15:25

When you look at it in slow motion he runs into her and pushes her causing her to fall sideways which is why her leg goes up.

Soubriquet · 08/08/2017 15:25

Well I think if I was shoved to the side about to fall on my arse, my legs would go flying out too

KurriKurri · 08/08/2017 15:26

I didn't realise it happened so long ago - i thought it was very recent - I presume that means they've had no luck finding him, but from that footage surely someone will recognise him. I hope he's shitting himself now it's been released.

Only someone very sick in their mind would do that. Hope he gets caught soon and his face is printed for all of us to see.

dotdotdot3 · 08/08/2017 15:26

If you watch a slow motion version, it looks like she raises one foot across her other leg (away from him) to adjust her shoe seconds before he passes and pushes her. I don't believe her action was directed against him.

It could be that he misinterpreted her action as aggressive, but pushing someone with such force that they fall into the traffic is shocking under any circumstances.

Happytobefree17 · 08/08/2017 15:26

I would have thought the police would have scrutinised the footage before releasing it

IloveBanff · 08/08/2017 15:30

Thank goodness the bus driver reacted so quickly!

KurriKurri · 08/08/2017 15:31

Yes - bus driver was brilliantly quick in his/her reactions.

He moves towards her before he pushes her. If he'd carried on running in a straight line she wouldn't even have been in his way.

aayla · 08/08/2017 15:32

She would have needed to have changed her stance by twisting her whole lower body and feet to the right to attempt to trip him.

Pigface1 · 08/08/2017 15:33

I'm gobsmacked by this. I go out running at lunchtime sometimes and when it's very busy you have to be super careful not to bump into people accidentally. But there's tons and tons of space on the pavement!!

AztecHero · 08/08/2017 15:35

I looked at the footage a number of times in slo mo and thought her foot came out in mid-air after she was pushed also.

She was in his manspace and so he pushed her. That is genuinely how I viewed it.

KurriKurri · 08/08/2017 15:35

I quite often have to avoid joggers (and I have to say it is usually the male ones, women joggers are more considerate IME) I would have thought if you are running where most people are walking you are the one who has to be vigilant and careful and make sure you avoid people.

There's so much cctv in London that surely this jogger can be tracked along his route. Other cameras might have a clearer picture of him.

TroelsLovesSquinkies · 08/08/2017 15:37

Bloody hell I hope they get him.

MineKraftCheese · 08/08/2017 15:38

Not shocked to see people victim blaming an innocent woman who was pushed into a moving bus. Questioning whether she might have done something to provoke it.

Business as usual.

KurriKurri · 08/08/2017 15:38

X posted pigface - exactly, that is how reasonable people behave.

I think is is a manspace thing - 'get out of my way I'm an important man-jogger, or I'll shove you out of the way'

Mummyoflittledragon · 08/08/2017 15:39

He had to vere toward her. It's bizarre. Mindless idiot. Thank goodness she's ok physically.

RidingWindhorses · 08/08/2017 15:39

She wasn't even in his 'man space' he clearly veers towards her.

This is just down the road form me so I'll keep an eye out for him.

IloveBanff · 08/08/2017 15:40

I wonder why this wasn't publicised 3 months ago. The police must have a reason I suppose.

LineysRun · 08/08/2017 15:40

God he pushed her with some force. She's knocked clean off her feet. She nearly died under a bus. He had loads of room but chose to do this.

BloodWorries · 08/08/2017 15:40

It does seem that he ran towards her rather than running in a straight line.
I'm not sure about the leg thing, at first I thought she tried to trip him but it could just as she is being pushed or even her trying to get out of his way.

I've been pushed into the road a few times, I feel like I attract these idiots somehow. Never been hit, mainly because I've never fallen. She's so lucky that bus missed her, it looked so close to her head.

MsWanaBanana · 08/08/2017 15:41

Think Crispsheets is watching a different video from everyone else. Way to victim blame though
