bicycle - just look at that disregard for people. only a cyclist hates humanity like that.

Generalisations! WOOOOOOOOOOO

Yes, that too. In any circumstances while using any mode of transportation this guy would most likely be an absolute menace to others.

He pushed her out of his way. The red mist has descended and probably had to avoid some other people whilst out on this run. His only thought was the push this woman out of his running line. If he wanted to throw her under the bus it wouldn't have being that difficult.

So why didn't he push the man who passed by him, in the exact same position as the woman, less than 5 seconds before? Oh yeah, because he's not big and brave enough to push a man. ****ing prick.

What red mist? What 'avoid other people'? He ran past one other person on a practically empty footpath before deliberately swerving toward her.

My only thought is maybe it took them a while to track down the CCTV and maybe all of their own efforts to find him have failed so they're trying to enlist the help of the public.

Also the footage they do have looks like the rear dash-cam of a moving vehicle (All though the article says CCTV footage?).

This vehicle was past the incident and may not have even seen it or knew they had the footage.

The footage itself may have only been received recently

The footage is from a vehicle in the bus lane so another Bus or taxi? it this is the case then they would have been able to get it quicker.

Yeah, because he is a coward. Red mist doesn't take long to appear

That's what happens when you let humans overpopulate the world.

Same thing, he pushed her out of his way and not in front of a bus.

He literally pushed her in front of a bus.

January · 08-08-2017 5:39pm

There's no way you can't hear a bus approaching you from behind, he knew the bus was there and pushed her into the path of it.

How was he to know there was a bus there? Also the footage is so bad, he will have to come forward as I can't see many identifying him and the police won't be able to use it if someone identify's him and he denies it.

BBDBB · 08-08-2017 5:43pm

Buses! The real silent killers! :eek:

That is irrelevant. He literally pushed her in front of a bus. This is a statement of fact.

Out of his way, into the road, in front of a bus.

The_Kew_Tour · 08-08-2017 5:45pm

Has anyone ever had those weird thoughts like 'what if I punch this person walking in my direction' or 'what would happen if I jumped out in front of this incoming train right now' (but in a non-suicidal context)?

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Before anyone calls me a nutter Edgar Allen Poe calls it the 'Imp of the Perverse': https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imp_of_the_Perverse_(short_story)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrusive_thought

Basically an obsessive compulsion which makes us feel like doing something awful and destructive simply because we shouldn't. Obviously most people don't actually do something like this but I wonder if this guy had one of those thoughts and actually did it.

Let's hope El Trumpo doesn't get visited by the Imp while he's standing if front of a big red button. Any big red button.

Even some joggers are out to do you in. Misanthropy levels rising...

They were in the same position, the man had to veer to push her, you can clearly see it.

EDIT: The man in front was a bit further left on review, he falls back into the same position as the girl after the man passed, hence my confusion. there was plenty of room for the man and woman to pass each other though, he had no reason to push her. (even if she was in his way, he had plenty of room to move to his left).

AllGunsBlazing · 08-08-2017 6:01pm

He definitely moves into her as she attempts to move further to the the left of the path. It's actually quite bizarre. We've all bumped into people and usually the reflex action is to jump away slightly and hold your hands up in a defensive/slightly apologetic way. None of that business with yer man.

He didn't push her out of his way, he moved his arms against her and then she was in a different place.

jamesbere · 08-08-2017 6:17pm

He obviously a c**t, he didn't if look behind to see if she was ok. You would say something if he didn't see her.

KKkitty · 08-08-2017 6:18pm

The bus was going slow enough so he knew it was near enough. Whatever was going through his mind this lady could have been killed by his prickish actions.

mad muffin · 08-08-2017 6:38pm

I've watch this over and over. I don't think he pushed her at all. It appears to me, that the woman tried to trip the jogger as she walked passed. He raises his leg and she trips instead. I don't think he even realises how close her head was to becoming part of the road.

scopper · 08-08-2017 6:39pm

Years ago a jogger did this to me, the sort of push, and I fell over, not near a road mind! It was very odd, like he was just in some super aggressive zone where he didn't care.

Hrududu · 08-08-2017 6:42pm

I love that no matter how clear cut something is, even something with video evidence you'll still get internet oddballs coming online to try and argue against the consensus.

He definitely veered towards her to push her. He pushed her with enough force to get her off the path and onto the road. Either he knew the bus was there or he didn't know what was there and pushed her not caring what happened to her. Also liked that he ran past yer man and picked an easier target.

I don't know what you're watching but he clearly veers towards her and forcefully shoves her. After he pushes her, her leg comes up because she is falling into the path of an oncoming bus. She wasn't trying to trip him. Victim blaming much there? Pretty sure that the police have examined the evidence with considerable expertise and concluded that it was a deliberate act.

He even passed by shortly after while the victim was being tended to and blanked her when she tried to challenge him. He is a psycho
