CCTV footage has captured the moment a jogger appears to push a woman into the path of an oncoming bus in London.

The 33-year-old victim was walking across Putney Bridge when the runner knocked her into the road.

A double-decker bus narrowly avoided hitting her - and seconds later, passengers disembarked and rushed to her aid.

The jogger made his way back across the bridge about 15 minutes later, and although the victim tried to speak to him about what happened, he did not acknowledge her and carried on running.

According to the Met Police, the woman suffered minor injuries in the incident, which happened at about 7.40am on 5 May.

The jogger has been described as a white man with brown eyes and short brown hair who is in his early to mid-30s - and officers are urging anyone who recognises him to get in touch.

Sergeant Mat Knowles said: "The victim was put in extreme danger when she was knocked into the road. It was only due to the superb quick reactions of the bus driver that she was not hit by the vehicle.

"We are keen to speak to the jogger in the CCTV about what happened that morning. We would urge him or anyone who recognises him to get in touch with us as soon as possible."
