Millionaire banker arrested in 'Putney Pusher' probe
Police arrested a 44-year-old millionaire banker with ties to several European royal families as a suspect in the 2017 "Putney Pusher" case that shoved a woman toward a double-decker bus on Putney Bridge. CCTV from 2017 showed a jogger push a pedestrian into the path of the bus, and the woman was not seriously injured. Authorities say the suspect is a former British Army officer and a director at a private bank, and the arrest marks a major breakthrough in the near-decade-long inquiry that could lead to prosecution.
Ooh, nearly a decade on there’s been a new and very attention-grabbing arrest in the case of the Putney Pusher – a jogging guy who shoved a woman into the path of a bus (she was amazingly not hurt)… www.lbc.co.uk/article/mult...
Alex von Tunzelmann46Redditors speculating that whoever the Pusher is, he must be rich & powerful to have evaded arrest for so long. Lol, it’s not like Plod has been conducting a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse & doghouse. They closed the investigation in 2018
Andrew Pope10I’m putting a symbolic £1 on “he’s recently broken up with his partner” or similar.
Oh wow I can't believe they've finally arrested someone. www.lbc.co.uk/article/mult...
~daniel_barker~21It's a case I can't help remembering. I hope they can prosecute.
Disappointed Optimist12I’m slightly terrified that one arrested suspect had to prove he was in America when it happened. Like, you would think the police would do this a part of the process of elimination of suspects?
SMD6fucking hell i'd completely forgotten about this cos i just assumed they'd eventually caught him.
~daniel_barker~5Or arrested someone else, rather. Hopefully they've actually got him this time. What a long time to get away with that.
minion of midas2There are enough identifying details in here that they probably could just as well print the name.
