A man arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of a bus in Putney has been released with no further action.
Eric Bellquist, 41, was last week named as the man arrested on August 10 after police released a video of the incident.
On May 5, a 33-year-old woman was walking across Putney Bridge on the east side heading towards Putney Bridge tube station when she was pushed by a jogger. The bus driver swerved out of the way in time to avoid hitting her,
A few minutes later, the jogger came back the other way across the bridge but did not acknowledge the victim.
