The Putney Pusher has been arrested……9 years on!

I thought that. Wife, mistress shopped him. Thank goodness. Dreadful man.

He is apparently 'recently divorced'. I know it's not for us to speculate but if I were to be still writing, I'd be wondering about a vengeful wife/abandoned mistress etc. (Please don't have a go at me for this - fiction used to be my job, after all!)

I remember this very well as my son and his family lived in Putney then and often walked across the bridge. Sounds like typical behaviour from entitled runners to me, and sadly not that unusual. I hope they throw the book at him.
Cyclists are even worse imo, they often cycle fast on footpaths, often right next to a cycle lane on the road.

Plevey08 A likely story!

The bus driver deserves a medal keeping everyone safe
This man needs to serve time, a fine will not puncture the sides if he’s a millionaire
I have a word for him but better not print it here
Glad they ve got him I hope the woman and the bus driver feel a little bit better
The woman could have died and the driver could have been up for manslaughter I hope they imprison him and throw away the key

What a good job the bus driver was so quick at taking avoiding action otherwise it may well have been a very different ending for that poor lady. As it is she must have lasting issues from an experience like that. I wish they had chucked him in jail on remand rather than bail. The very least he deserves.

There have been further stories in the media about his £1+million house, how he's a top earner, how he's related to Royalty. Today it has been disclosed that drugs were found at his home. I'm just glad he's been caught, if it is him. It was a shocking thing to do. He even ran back across the bridge the other way and the victim, who was being assisted by witnesses, shouted at him to stop.

Hmmm sounds like somebody has tipped them off. After all this time.

Innocent unless proved guilty?

He's so far been arrested. That's all.

The investigation was closed in 2018, but the arrest was made on Monday after new information reportedly came to light.

The Metropolitan Police detained the man on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm.

A spokesman for the force said: “On Monday, 15 June, a 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm.

“He was taken to police custody, where he remains. The arrest relates to an incident on 5 May 2017, where a woman was pushed into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge in Putney. Inquiries continue.”

Thankfully police kept that case opened.
Absolutely horrific to watch behind open fingers!
I hope he gets a long stretch the
Arrogant sod.

The case was shut in 2018, apparently new evidence came to light.

Thanks Posters, for the updates

He’s not be ‘caught’.
He, along with (I think) 3 other men, are under consideration. Yet to be proven.

Millionaire more like? Can probably afford a good lawyer….

Oops I've just seen typo😊

Oh my God. I remember it now. It was horrific to hear about. Was he really a billionaire wanker and connected to royals?

Looking at a YouTube clip of the incident, it seems that there was enough room for the pedestrian to walk and the runner to pass from the opposite direction.
A millionaire banker with Royal connections? Did this runner even look back to see what the consequences of his shove were? It doesn’t look as if he had registered that his actions had consequences.
I wonder how the Putney Pusher was identified?

I imagine it could be to do with CCTV images now being enhanced with new technology, or the nasty piece of work has boasted to somebody who reported this to the police.
Either way well done for collaring him and I hope they throw the book at him.

What an awful thing and thank goodness he’s been caught!

A man has been arrested, he's not been proved he's the Putney Pusher.
He's not the first man to have been arrested.

At long last!
I'm amazedb that he's been caught,and pretty impressed, to be honest.

Thankfully police kept that case opened.
Absolutely horrific to watch behind open fingers!
I hope he gets a long stretch the
Arrogant sod.

It was horrifying, that poor woman would have been a goner if it wasn't for the bus driver who managed to swerve, a hero for sure! It was galling to think the jogger had got away with it too, so hopefully some sort of resolution. Such a terrible thing to do
