Man Arrested After Jogger Pushed Woman Into Path of London Bus

A jogger in shorts and T-shirt is seen on video banging into a pedestrian, who tumbles in front of a double-decker bus

British police are looking for a jogger who back in May pushed a woman onto the road, nearly missing a passing bus. CCTV footage shows the man knocking the 33-year-old woman on Putney Bridge in South West London, and a bus driver swerving to avoid hitting her.

An arrest has been made after a search for the jogger who knocked a woman into the path of a bus in London, British police said Thursday.

The 41-year-old was arrested Thursday on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm, London's Metropolitan Police force said.

Earlier this week police released surveillance camera footage of the May 5 incident on Putney Bridge.

It shows a jogger in shorts and T-shirt banging into a pedestrian, who tumbles in front of a double-decker bus. The bus stops just before hitting the woman, who suffered minor injuries.

Police say Thursday's arrest followed a "good response" from the public to the video.

The arrested man has not been charged and his name has not been released.
