A male suspect is currently being held by authorities after an incident involving a woman in London. No reason has been given for the alleged assault on her.

A 33-year-old woman, whose identity has yet to be disclosed, suffered a close call when she was pushed onto the path of an oncoming bus by a suspect who is now under police custody. The incident occurred on a bridge spanning the River Thames in London.

Security footage captured a jogger approaching a man dressed formally.

The suspect's actions were swift and forceful, occurring just before 7:40 am when he pushed the woman into the path of an oncoming bus. The perpetrator then fled the scene, while bystanders from the bus intervened to assist the injured woman.

A jogger, caught on camera, was spotted on the opposite side of the bridge around 15 minutes after the incident, seemingly oblivious to the woman's presence.

The victim's life hung precariously in the balance when she was forced into the path of an oncoming bus. Fortunately, swift action taken by the bus driver averted what could have been a catastrophic collision. This incident is currently under investigation by Sgt. Mat Knowles and his team from Putney Safer Neighborhood Team.

A disturbing incident captured on camera went viral in August 2017, prompting a police appeal with the hashtag "Road-rage jogger".

Millions of people watched the disturbing video, sparking widespread anger towards the authorities for their slow response in identifying the suspect. Social media users even proposed crowdfunding for an independent investigation into the matter locally.

A man matching this description is alleged to have been involved in an incident where a woman was pushed into a bus's path.

A US-based private equity executive residing in London has been taken into custody regarding the incident, only to be cleared due to evidence showing his presence elsewhere during the alleged assault on the female victim.

Investigations revealed multiple individuals were scrutinized, exceeding a total of 50 persons, yet progress was halted due to lack of concrete evidence emerging.

The police spokesperson confirmed ongoing efforts to solve the case.
