Detectives investigating an assault in which a jogger pushed a woman into the path of a London bus say they have received several new names of possible suspects.

Police issued a new CCTV image of the suspect yesterday and say they have already received a good response from the public.

A number of people have called in with information and officers are working on a “handful” of new names of possible suspects.

The new CCTV still was taken from the number 430 bus which narrowly avoided the woman as she was pushed into its path on Putney Bridge, south west London, on May 5.

Police released this image in the hunt for a jogger wanted over the incident

About 15 minutes after the incident, the jogger came back the other way across the bridge.

The 33-year-old victim tried to speak to him but he did not acknowledge her and carried on jogging towards the north side of the river.

Police are searching for a white man, aged in his 30s, with brown eyes and short brown hair. He was wearing a light grey T-shirt and dark blue shorts with grey trainers.

Two men, both aged 41, have previously been arrested in connection with the investigation but were released without further action.
