Overview
- A 44-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm and taken into custody, the Metropolitan Police said on Monday.
- CCTV from May 5, 2017 showed a jogger shove a 33-year-old woman into the path of a double-decker bus on Putney Bridge and the victim survived after the driver swerved.
- Officers closed the original probe in 2018 after interviewing about 50 men and making three arrests with no charges, and the force says fresh inquiries have now led to this detention.
- Multiple outlets report the arrestee is a multi‑millionaire banker and former Army officer arrested at a reported £1.4m west London home, but those biographical details have not been confirmed by police.
- The arrest is a procedural step not a charge and police say forensic work and further questioning will determine whether prosecutors bring charges while the victim remains unidentified and witnesses continue to be sought.
