To think that someone reading this knows who the Putney Bridge Pusher is

[Fragmentedbrain]

And for whatever reason didn't report it to the police?

Someone knows come on out with it

(Question inspired by the thread about lunatic men assaulting women for no reason cos they think nothing will happen to them)

No needs to click on chat to see it, it's currently in active. So they would see it as they scroll the forum which is what I believe is the bit that's most widely used.

The case being closed doesn't mean that's it, it just means they're not proactively investigating it at this time. If evidence relating to this incident comes to light then it would be looked at.

I hadn't seen that video before, it's really shocking. I hope they find that disgusting man.

Well obviously not.

I've said it several times before on Mumsnet on those "greatest mystery" threads - the fact that he was never found is absolutely baffling! I can't help but think maybe he was police and it was hushed up.

That is just spreading unsubstantiated rumours.

So they cant identify this MAN on CCTV yet its ok for Facewatch and Home Bargains to falsely accuse women of shoplifting.

Someone will know, pretty sure of that.

It reminds me a of a couple of occasions when I've been cycling to work and a guy coming the opposite way has suddenly decided to cycle right at me. It's an intimidation thing to see if they can make me move over (even though I'm on the left side nowhere near them).

Then one day I had one guy just lunge at me out of the blue because I didn't move, I only just managed to stay upright, if I'd gone over I would have tumbled down the bank into a ditch. I wonder how many other women he's done that to, or if he'd do it to someone near a road instead of a ditch.

I'm so glad I don't cycle that route any more.

That is just sharing their own opinion

Just had a look at the video again. There’s no way that nobody knows who this is - the video is so clear. Utterly sickening, and in light of the apparent increase in this behaviour at the moment, incredibly scary. It is a miracle that she wasn’t killed.

A policeman so undercover that not a single person recognises him? Doesn't sound very plausible to me

I think it's more likely he's a foreign diplomat or connected to intelligence, they would definitely 100% cover that up.

I think someone working for the police would be too difficult to cover up.

It’s really shocking, every time I watch it. It’s hard to believe nobody knows who it is.

Also, has anyone given that bus driver a bloody medal?

Which is an unsubstantiated rumour.

What other incidents of this type are you referring to?

She said "I can't help but think. ", that's an opinion.

She didn't say, "I heard that..", that would be a rumour.

That's just pure mental gymnastics.

As a cyclist I'd like to give several bus drivers medals from some of the things I've seen. I'd also like to give some taxi drivers a big raspberry and the V 😂

It's basic gcse comprehension skills.

So I can say 'I can't help but think...' followed by any kind of accusation, and that will not start a rumour?

I'm very happy to test this here on Mumsnet.

This comes up time and time again. Mumsnet does not have 8 million users.

Maybe someone does know who it was - but maybe they live in fear of this individual and were just too scared to do anything about it . It seems unlikely that someone that would do such a thing is sweetness and light to those around him

This! How on earth could all the cameras in London not find him?

It's noticeable that a man passed him a second or two before, but he didn't try and shove him under a bus!

I'm sure he passed women as well without pushing them. She wasn't especially in his way. It's incomprehensible.

Occams razor says he's foreign (Russia?) and didn't have close contact with any/many people in the UK while he was here. There weren't cameras on his route back to his accommodation.

So he left, nobody when knew him in his home country heard the story, and the few people he'd vaguely interacted in the UK didn't remember him well enough to recognise him. (Especially in different clothes.)

If his job involved giving presentations to rooms full of 50 people I'm sure he'd be recognised. If he was a tourist or installed a foreign dishwasher in a basement after a 2 minute chat with a security guard then I doubt anyone stared at his face for any length of time.

Whatever the explanation, it's unusual.

He looked incredibly like my xh and I nearly reported that, but remembered in time that he looked like my xh 20 years before the incident happened.

I also feel certain that someone knows who he is (apart from himself obvs). And that it makes very little sense that they couldn’t at least publish some other sightings of him from the same morning. I would have thought he could have been up for attempted manslaughter which is surely serious enough to warrant a major investigation.
