In May 2017, on Putney Bridge in London, an unidentified male jogger forcefully pushed a woman walking on a pedestrian walkway into the path of an oncoming bus.
The man calmly continued jogging without a pause or change in pace, even as the woman fell backward onto the road. The bus driver skillfully swerved just moments before impact, narrowly avoiding hitting her.
The bus stopped, and people poured out to help her. Bizarrely and brazenly the jogger eventually proceeded to jog the opposite side of the bridge, where the victim confronted him. He ignored her.
CCTV footage of the attempted murder went viral, and photos of the man circulated on the internet. During the course of the year long investigation, several people were arrested for the crime. None were charged.
Despite the city’s vast CCTV network, the jogging man has never been identified. The police closed the case in 2018 after the leads dried up.
