After the alleged attempted bombing, a witness who saw Mr Osman said the defendant looked "incredulous and disorientated". He didn't break into a run Peter TrotterLondon Underground
The court saw footage of Mr Osman boarding a number 220 bus - which he is said to have travelled on after the attempted bombing - in North Pole Road, west London and remaining on it until it reached Wandsworth. The jury heard a series of statements from passengers on the Hammersmith and City Line London Underground on which Mr Osman is alleged to have detonated a device in a rucksack.
Witness Anne Moore said she saw him walking down the street in Wandsworth and he seemed "out of it". Abisha Moyo was one of the passengers on the train, which was near Shepherd's Bush station.
She was in a car and was forced to swerve to avoid hitting him as he seemed unaware of her presence. She said she heard a bang and then saw a man falling on to his back on top of a rucksack in the carriage.
She told the court: "He was in a position like Jesus when nailed to the cross, with his arms out to the sides."
Calm appearance
After the alleged attempted bombing, witness Eunice Olwa said she saw Mr Osman squeezing between two carriages and, after attempting to climb on to the roof, jumping down on to the track and walking away.
"It was like he was strolling in the park," she said, remarking on how calm he appeared.
London Underground worker Peter Trotter said he saw the man walking on the track moments later.
In a statement Mr Trotter said: "I shouted to the man to get back on the platform, I shouted on two or three occasions, he took no notice.
"He didn't break into a run."
'Passing through'
According to prosecutors, Mr Osman then climbed over the garden wall of the home of Mellanda and Lola Henry, whose home backs on to the railway track.
He entered through their dining room window and walked out of their front door, prosecutors said.
He is said to have told Mrs Henry, an elderly woman, "I'm just passing through" as he went by.
The court heard that police found traces of two footprints in the house - one of top of the dishwasher and another on the dining room table.
The court has also seen CCTV footage allegedly showing Mr Osman boarding a number 220 bus - which he is said to have travelled on after the attempted bombing - in North Pole Road, west London and remaining on it until it reached Wandsworth, in south London.
