Overview
- The Metropolitan Police arrested a 44-year-old man on Monday, 15 June 2026 on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm and said he remains in custody as inquiries continue.
- Police linked the arrest to the 5 May 2017 incident in which a jogger shoved a woman into the path of a number 430 bus on Putney Bridge and the driver narrowly avoided hitting her.
- Officials have not announced any charges and investigators are still gathering evidence from the reopened inquiry.
- Press reports describe the suspect as a wealthy banker with former British Army service and alleged royal-family links, but those biographical details are media claims that police have not verified.
- The case drew sustained public attention after the 2017 CCTV went viral, the investigation was closed in June 2018, and a 2024 play renewed interest that police said might produce fresh leads.
