Putney Bridge incident
The Met Police said: "The bus stopped and some passengers got off and rushed to the victim's aid. She received minor injuries from the incident.
"About 15 minutes later the jogger came back the other way across the bridge. The victim tried to speak to him but he did not acknowledge her and carried on jogging."
On Friday (August 11) the solicitors representing the arrested man said their client was in America at the time of the incident.
A statement from Duncan Lewis Solicitors made to the Mirror Online said: “Our client has been wrongly implicated in this matter; he categorically denies being the individual concerned and has irrefutable proof that he was in the United States at the time of the incident.
“Consequently we expect a swift resolution to this wholly untrue allegation.”
The Met Police said it is continuing to make enquiries into who pushed the woman into the road.
The jogger is described as a white man, aged early to mid 30s, with brown eyes and short brown hair. He was wearing a light grey t-shirt and dark blue shorts.
