Police arrest a 44-year-old man in connection with the 2017 “Putney Pusher” incident on Putney Bridge in south-west London. Reported at the time as a jogger pushing a woman into the path of a bus, the case is described in multiple outlets as a cold-case investigation that was later closed by the Metropolitan Police in 2018, before being reopened and pursued again. The arrest comes about eight to nine years after the incident. The Guardian reports police arrest the man on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm. The BBC reports that the man is bailed following his arrest. Other outlets also describe police confirming the arrest is linked to the earlier CCTV-based identification and subsequent investigation. One outlet notes that the suspect had been rearrested later in connection with drug possession, though this is presented as a separate matter from the original push-allegation. Across sources, the common elements are the location (Putney Bridge), the year (2017), the allegation that a woman is pushed into a bus’s path, and that the suspect is arrested and then released on bail pending further legal process.
