Police are looking for a jogger who appeared to push a woman in front of a London bus during a bizarre unprovoked attack.
The London Metropolitan Police on Tuesday released CCTV footage of the dramatic incident, which took place on May 5 around 7.40 a.m.
The 33-year-old victim was walking across Put ney Bridge toward the underground station at the time.
As can be seen in the video, the jogger — in a light grey T-shirt and dark blue shorts — pushed the victim off the pavement as they crossed each other's paths.
Luckily for the victim, an oncoming bus managed to swerve out the way to avoid a crash. The victim received minor injuries, and Putney police praised the "superb quick reactions of the bus driver."
Fifteen minutes after the incident, the jogger encountered the victim again when he returned to the bridge on his run. The victim tried to speak to him, but he did not acknowledge her and continued jogging, police said.
Police described the jogger as a white man in his early- to mid-30s, with brown eyes, and short brown hair. They have appealed for the jogger to come forward to speak to them
