Victim never came forward. She was also there when he ran back over the bridge.

I wonder was there any connection between the two of them.

Still he was a total Pr!ck to push her into the path of the traffic. Attempted murder IMV no matter what.

I hope they nab him, but I doubt they will.

She didn't go to the police? Jaysus that's very strange. You'd think after nearly getting killed by a bus the first thing she'd do would be to report it.

I'd say they know/knew each other in some capacity. It would go some way towards explaining why it happened

It's over 5 years ago now and it wasn't in Dublin so highly unlikely there was CCTV in the first place. I'd actually forgotten it until I was reading about this case.

It wasn't someone I recognised or the car and in broad daylight, it was midday on a lovely sunny day and he was looking straight at me. So just an asshole. A few passerby's saw it happen and were pretty shocked.

Anyone remember a woman being kicked down the steps of a subway in Berllin a few years back? That was horrific. Yer man who did that got a couple of years in prison.

Similar thing happened to me. Walking along, minding my own business(on a footpath I may add) and the next thing I knew I was flying sideways after a sharp pain on my side.
Guy on a bike just booted me as he cycled past and just kept on going.

If you check her facebook page, it seems they were engaged prior to the 'push'

All's well that ends well.

If that's true then why are the police asking the pubic to identify him? Why not question her if we know who she is and her Facebook page.

its all a bit strange things aren't adding up here? surely the police would have caught him by now

Adds a whole new meaning to 'being given the shove'.

At the end of the day we're all human beings, no need to fly off the handle with me.

Shur that person was saying a few weeks ago that she stuck her foot out to trip him up. Now they're aggressively defending her and saying her Facebook says such and such when it's not even known who she is.

Whatever keeps folks amused I suppose.

The general public don't know who she is, but nothing in the articles about this to suggest that the police don't know who she is. The give her age, that she was injured, that she tried to speak to the bloke again when he ran back over the bridge. Where do they get that information from other that from her?
If they were trying to identify her then they would also be releasing the camera footage of her walking towards the bus.

This adds a whole new dimension to the case does it not, for if she was actually engaged to him, then surely the police know exactly who he is.

Hence why all the media circus "Who is the man in the picture" (New picture released) massive four month media manhunt then ensues!

What's going on?

What's going on is someone's imagination is getting a bit carried away.

That post saying they knew each other is clearly rubbish then, the police would never have released the stills of him or launched an expensive campaign to find him.

Mod: Hastentoadd, it's not the first time you've picked a suspiciously contrarian horse and ridden it to the stables in here. Either post backups to your claims (outside personal facebook accounts - if this is true, someone in the media will have picked up the remarkably out of date efforts of the police, so you can post that article) or don't post in this thread. It is just derailing the conversation.

Just seen this video posted up on RTE from Poland:

https://www.rte.ie/news/newslens/2018/0418/955391-poland-bus-push/


And was reminded of this incident. Amazed he wa never caught, for something that went so viral and had a relatively clear picture of him. But looks like they're saying it'll be unlikely now

I thought it was a case the man was known to the woman but they couldn't pin it on him?

BorneTobyWilde

Why would she push her friend under a bus. Some women are completely clueless. Not as if she didn't see bus, it was a case of oh I see a bus, I'll push my friend under it for a laugh.
That was her action, she saw the bus and then thought it would be cool to push her under it.

Who here can raise their hand and say truthfully that they've never pushed their friend into a passing bus? Even once? Please...

Definitely a women moment in all fairness, like checking the petrol tank of car is full, and using a lighter to see.
Or driving around a petrol station forecourt several times because you just can't get the side with the filler to match up with the pump.

Ah ok, see what I’m dealing with here. Carry on.

London police have been unable to find the guy and have now closed the case

As a suspect has not been identified and as all lines of inquiry have now been exhausted, the investigation has been closed. Should any new information come to light, this will be explored.

Surprised he was not caught as London has such an extensive CCTV network especially in the city center. Looks like he got away with his ridiculously dangerous behavior

Someone knows who he is, but he is in the "right crowd' and is being protected.
Most likely now out of the area.

2 lads from Donnybrook wanted to try that a few years back.
Got the idea to steal a bus from the depo in the middle of the night.
Fiachra hoped over the wall as Fintan kept sketch.
5 mins goes by...10 mins, still no sign.
20 mins later, Fiachra hops back dejected looking.
'What the fock, what happened? Fintan asks his mate.

Exactly, in London the moment you leave one area of CCTV footage you're immediately in the scope of another, are they telling us there's no footage of where this bloke was 50 or 200 yards down the road?, like fook.

I can't say I have, but that's not to say I've never seen teenagers fake-push each other towards traffic or off high walls or whatever.

Teenagers are idiots.

Her friend obviously wanted to give her a nudge "for the craic", but then caused her to lose her balance.

Teenagers.

A man shot a RPG-22 anti-tank rocket from Spring Gardens in the center of London, right into the MI6 building on the Thames.

He wasn't caught either in one of the most CCTV heavy places on earth.

Surveillance in London is massive but there are gaps everywhere, broken networks, devices that don't record etc.

No conspiracy, just facts. midday joggers tend to be local office workers and there are lots of offices in that area who have powerful people working in them.


It's very easy for someone to keep sthumm, lose CCTV video of the jogger returning to the office gym, etc

Sure there are gaps, that attack was obviously planned after finding the gap, but the jogger is a different story, he was on a main road in the centre of the city in very public areas, areas that are flooded with cameras.

fineso.mom

Wouldnt it be gas if she saw him again in the same place and pushed him in the river. No cctv, she'd be grand.

What I mean is people assume the police can follow you on CCTV from the city center to your home in London. It doesn't work like that.

The reason they don't know who this guy is, is because there are gaps in CCTV surveillance. He disappeared off the grid a few streets later and they have no idea where he went. It's that simple.

There is no need of conspiracy theories about him being protected by the powers that be.

It’s annoying that he wasn’t found but she’s alive and it looks like she wouldn’t have picked up any lasting injuries. Not an ideal resolution but it could have been so much worse.

Still it would be nice to see thoughtless ****stains, like the runner get his comeuppance .

razorblunt

It's a weird one, you would think something like that would eventually leak out, even as a Chinese whisper. The City of London is a relatively small place (I mean the FS district not the actual whole city) so you'd have gotten wind of it by now.

I know but unfortunately many crimes don’t get solved so one has to reach for positives.

Sorry if this has been already asked and answered, but why is the pusher's face pixellated in some videos of the incident?

Some media outlets require the person's permission to show their face on videos, as he is unknown, this isn't possible.

So they're just following their organisation's rules.

It's not as if he's going to complain though... :rolleyes:
