The detectives that investigated the 'Putney Pusher' incident hope a play about the strange unsolved case of a man shoving a woman under a bus will encourage witnesses to come forward.
CCTV footage of the jogger casually pushing a pedestrian into the path of a double decker bus on London's Putney Bridge shocked the world when it emerged in May, 2017.
Despite the best efforts of amateur online detective dissecting the runner's gate, the 'Putney Pusher' was never caught and police eventually closed the case after two arrests and questioning more than 50 suspects a year later in 2018.
The driver of the 430 bus, who managed to avoid the 33-year-old victim by quickly swerving, was hailed as a hero for saving the woman and was the only person to come forward publicly.
Now, police hope a play telling the story of 'Putney Pusher' this month will shine a new light on the mystery and maybe entice other witnesses to come forward.
