Police Arrest Man, 50, Who Pushed Woman Into Bus Path On Putney Bridge

By Christian Smith

Police have arrested a 41-year man in Chelsea over an attack on Putney Bridge where a woman was pushed into the path of a bus.

The man who is currently being detained at a south London Police station for question in suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm was picked up this morning.

His arrest was made after CCTV footage was released that showed a 33-year-old victim walking across Putney Bridge on the east side heading towards Putney Bridge Tube Station being pushed into the bus.

The video which was captured on Friday, 5 August, showed that the woman only received minor injuries due to the bus driver’s quick reaction.

Police say the release of the video received a good response from the appeal.

Anyone with information or any witnesses are asked to call Putney Safer Neighbourhood Team on 020 8785 8874 or 101 or tweet @MetCC.
