The 50-year-old man was detained on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm at a residential address in south-west London on Thursday morning, the Metropolitan police said. He was later released on bail.



CCTV footage released this week showed a man apparently barging into the 33-year-old woman, knocking her into the road on the east side of Putney Bridge and the bus swerving to avoid her.

It is understood the man was arrested after information received from a member of the public.

The Met said the bus stopped and passengers tended to the woman, who sustained minor injuries, after the incident at about 7.40am on 5 May.

Officers said the jogger ran back the other way across the bridge about 15 minutes later and the victim tried to speak to him but “he did not acknowledge her”.

Police originally gave the arrested man’s age as 41, but that was later corrected to 50. Officers continue to appeal for any witnesses to the incident.
