Detectives investigating a 2017 incident known as the 'Putney Pusher' have arrested a 44-year-old man on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm. The arrest, which took place on June 15, relates to an incident on May 5, 2017, when a woman was pushed into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge in London. The suspect was also arrested at his west London home on suspicion of possessing Class A and Class B drugs, which include cocaine and cannabis. He was released on bail but is still under investigation while further inquiries continue. The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, is reported to have connections to several European royal families and currently works as a director at a private bank. He previously served in the British Army. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest and stated that the man is being charged in connection with the 2017 incident. The victim, a 33-year-old woman, narrowly avoided being hit by the bus when the driver, Oliver Salbris, swerved at the last minute. Salbris told the Sunday Times in 2017 that if he hadn't made the sudden maneuver, the consequences could have been severe for both the woman and himself. The incident was captured on CCTV, which was released in August 2017 and led to a major investigation. In June 2018, the Metropolitan Police closed the investigation after examining 50 people of interest, with no charges ever filed. However, the case resurfaced in April 2024 when a play titled "Once Upon a Bridge" was performed at the OSO Arts Centre in Barnes, south west London. The suspect was arrested in connection with the 2017 incident on May 5, 2017, and was released under investigation on September 6, 2026.
