Gobsmacked at the jogger on the news..

[KurriKurri]

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

Clip was on the news last night she did not try to trip him up, her leg came up after he pushed her. & even if she had done so, that is no reason to push her in front of a bus for God's sake - so I wish people wouldn't keep mentioning it. Thank God the bus driver reacted so quickly. There's footage so I don't understand why this madman hasn't been caught but I truly hope he is caught and jailed soon It's attempted murder

It just didn't look like the injuries sustained would be up there. Except if she cracked her head badly. Then Sec 20 probs?

We don't know about any damage to her mental health do we?

She's already falling when his left hand comes up, it possibly doesn't even make contact. Honestly, watch again on YouTube with full screen and pause as she starts to fall, his arm is down.

You're suggesting she lied to the police? Presumably they would have asked her what happened and you'd think she might have mentioned an important detail like 'I was already falling'.

And then you're suggesting that the police haven't watched the video as carefully as you have?

Pretty bold suggestions there...

Was definitely a 2 handed "hip and shoulder" shove. He didn't just intend to send her flying, he intended her to go on the road.

That footpath is very wide, he had to veer over to her and knock her hard in one particular direction. If he just wanted to knock her over her could have pushed her back or stuck a leg out. He was definitely intending that she'd end up on the road, 100%.

I am dying to hear his explanation.

"She's already falling when his left hand comes up, it possibly doesn't even make contact. Honestly, watch again on YouTube with full screen and pause as she starts to fall, his arm is down. "

Oh I see, he wanted to help her.
What a gentleman.

Exactly Shopkin that silly hysterical woman decided to throw herself backwards into the road and the poor man reached out to help her ( then carried on jogging without breaking step). He doesn't need a solicitor, he just needs to concoct a story using all the victim blaming theories on here

Just watched full screen on YouTube
How anyone can think she is randomly falling is beyond me
And if he is attempting to help why doesn't he stop?
Pushing her is terrible. Not stopping us even worse. He didn't care if she got badly hurt or not
I hope this ruins his life

She's already falling when his left hand comes up, it possibly doesn't even make contact. Honestly, watch again on YouTube with full screen and pause as she starts to fall, his arm is down.

Jesus Christ. Some people really are determined for him to be innocent despite clear video evidence.

He veers towards her
He pushes her
She falls

If you think you see anything else you should perhaps book an eye examination.

I think that poster meant she was already falling from the force from his right hand by the time his left hand came up, not that she was just falling because she can't maintain her own balance.

Also, I don't get why runners have such an objection to weaving around people rather than sticking rigidly to a straight path. Surely they would be glad to add all the extra distance to their run. Lazy runners

I agree, I can't see that Belligerent is saying she wasn't pushed, just that the left hand wasn't involved. How on earth do people get the interpretation that she is suggesting he is innocent or that the victim is lying out of "I'm not arguing that that mitigates his actions in anyway. None of his hands should have made contact with her because he should have moved over if he feared a collision"?

I apologise that I interpreted her comments incorrectly. I have been raging at the comments I've seen on Twitter putting the blame on the pedestrian and incorrectly read her post as more of the same.

That's ok then
No issues if it was only a one handed push
Give the man a medal

I read that comment the same as you Squoosh ☹️

Yes I thought he was clearly David Cameron's age or thereabouts. I thought whaaaat? when they said ''in his 30s''. That was interesting. Is that what made him want to come forward

I am so glad that he's been arrested and hasn't wriggled out of this violence yet he will

KathyBale yes, male entitlememt to space is wuite astounding. I was at the airportast year, waiting in the check in queue. My Dd was just behind me on her Trunki. A bloke (father with his own kid and a wife), kept on standing next to DD in the queue or when I noticed and made sure she was next to me, he kept on standing really close the Trunki
As if she shouldn't be there, he was so much in a rush and she was clearly in his way: i had words with him, he told me to keep an eye on my child - err, i was, she was next to me??
His wife made him apologise to me later (in a very insincere way).

I don't think he was arrested? Just brought for the interview to the station amd then released pending further investingation but NOT on bail.

I find it very offputting that so many posters are impugning motive (with no evidence to back it up other than some personal experience) & projecting their own agenda (especially the ones that claim to be feminist) when trying to guess what the jogger was thinking.

Remember that, next time MN has one its regular woeful "Why aren't more women feminists. If you prefer conjecture to facts, I'm out of your club.

Sorry, they did arrest him in the end.

He was arrested and is now on bail. Facts.

lljk I don't understand your point.

I'm not sure what her post is about either.

I'm out of your club.

Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

I was out yesterday and noted the amount of male figurative shoving that goes on - it is so frequent it is almost an everyday occurance for me and has almost become the norm.

I was nearly hit by an adult male cyclist riding fast down the pedestrian precinct.

Observed a woman in a wheelchair having a man walk straight at her and refuse to budge so she had to alter her path.

I was looking at something in a shop and loud voice right behind me said 'excuse me' forcefully - I moved, as I was startled - turned out to me a man who wanted to look at the shelf here I had been looking and wasn't prepared to wait for me to finish looking for my item.

At my hospital appointment, I went to the loo and when I opened the toilet door to come out there was a man standing practically in the door frame waiting so I couldn't get out without asking him to move -bizarre.

These are very ordinary events when I go out -t hey happen all the time. I am also quite often pushed to cross the road before the lights change on the crossing, always by men, I have had my elbow grabbed by a man who wanted to drag me across the road when HE decided I should cross (when lights still red and traffic still coming) - I had to shake him off.

It's not all men - but there are quite a lot of the 'pushing' kind about.

he clearly and purposefully avoids the man then veers towards her to do this on purpose. what is wrong with people
