Overview
- The Metropolitan Police confirmed on Monday that a 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm in connection with the May 5, 2017 Putney Bridge incident.
- CCTV from the original case shows a jogger appearing to shove a 33-year-old woman into the path of a double-decker bus, and the driver, Oliver Salbris, swerved to avoid a fatal strike.
- Detectives previously interviewed about 50 people and made three arrests before closing the inquiry in June 2018 after officials said lines of inquiry were exhausted.
- Multiple media outlets report the arrested man is a wealthy banker, a former British Army officer, and has alleged royal family links, but the Metropolitan Police has not confirmed those personal details and no charge has been filed.
- The suspect remains in police custody while inquiries continue, a development that could bring new evidence for the victim and the local community after years of public interest that included a 2024 stage play about the case.
