Police recently released CCTV of the incident, which happened on 5 May, in an effort to trace the jogger, after their attempts to establish his identity had failed. | |
The footage showed a man barging into the 33-year-old woman on the bridge. | |
In doing so, he knocked her into the path of an oncoming bus. | |
It was only the quick reactions of the bus driver - who swerved to avoid the woman - that prevented her being hit, the Met said. | |
The bus stopped and several passengers got off and went to help the victim, who had received minor injuries. | |
About 15 minutes later the jogger came back the other way across the bridge. | |
The woman tried to speak to him but he did not acknowledge her and carried on jogging. |
