The man arrested over the incident at Putney Bridge, where a jogger pushed a woman into incoming traffic, has been named as a partner at a Mayfair equity firm.

Eric Bellquist, 50, was detained by police on suspicion of grievous bodily harm after the woman was narrowly missed by an oncoming bus.

Mr Bellquist has denied being the jogger through his lawyer and says he was in the United States during the incident.

He was arrested at an address in Chelsea and later released without being charged.

Mr Bellquist works at Hutton Collins Partners, which owns restaurant chains Wagamama and Byron.
