I saw this on the BBC site, it looked to me like she tried to trip him but couldnt be sure. Could have had catastrophic consequences.
Was the jogger "making progress"?
Lol blatant victim blaming 😆
This was on the news here in Spain. My first thought was that the jogger was a nutter, but on closer inspection . . . .
Well, that's not as clear cut as the new bad it sound is it? Interesting.
Interesting. Her right foot cetainly comes out towards his legs, but is that not as a reaction to being pushed over. TBH honest the whole incident is mighty odd.
EDIT. He definitely runs in towards her before there is contact. Does he momentarily lose balance while he is running, or is it deliberate
The jogger definitely seems to drift in her direction before that happened. I think the leg is after the push, not before. Odd!
I saw this earlier - her leg only goes out as she's tipped as a balance reaction. I got a bit conspiratorial and wondered if there was an element of Georgy Markov here in that I couldn't see any other reason the jogger could've reacted like he did and it would presumably be relatively easy to tip someone in front of a bus if they walked that route every day.
Watching it in full screen you can see her leg goes out after she is pushed. I'd agree it's very strange and strikes me as a deliberate attempt to injure her.
I'd say the leg movement was after the push.
Where's that jogger's helmet?
Why can't they stick to the jogging paths? They don't even pay road tax you know.
If somebody was running in a way likely to collide with you, you’d raise “defences” against that. Would probably mean knee raising ready for “impact”. That’s about as much as I can see.
TBH if I was going to go around tripping people up, I probably wouldn’t do it in a skirt suit - not exactly the best thing to be wearing for getting away in...

I've heard they cause more damage to the roads and pavements than cars due to motion of them running and pounding the floor.
She's a double agent and he was sent by Mossad
"Won't someone please consider the children!"
[i]Woman tries to trip jogger and falls in front of a bus[/i]
really, that's what you saw? A woman 'falling'?
*shakes head*
Jogger appears to be the protagonist in that...video shows them running then moving into the direction of travel then the woman goes down. Obviously more to it than that, but jogger being an eejit!
Wondered if she was on her phone or something and he's a militant anti-phonist jogging b*stard
Not sure on this. He could have been trying to go to her right around her and realised he couldn't and bumped into her. Or just wasn't paying attention and stumbled into her, though the change in direction towards her is quite definite. Or he's a complete dick and needs some jail time. Maybe he has a grudge against her.
Better clip here

That's what it looks like .

And what about all that CO2 they breathe out eh? Who's taxing that?
If this guy is on strava or something similar shouldn't he be easily identifiable given the time log on the CCTV screen? Looks totally deliberate to me.
If they are both regulars on this route then maybe this is the conclusion of a long period of hostility between the two of them?
I wouldn't like to be on the jury for that one. After the defence counsel plays that back 20 times you've no idea what you're looking at.
I think one of them even looks a bit foreign
I think he's offering her a yoghurt, but it's one of those Onken wholegrain jobbies and she doesn't like the grainy ones so takes offence and tries to show him the message written on her foot which says "no grainy yoghurts please" but it's too late and she slips on a dog egg as he swings for her for dissing his fave yogs blud.

According to the BBC site, the jogger cam back in the other direction 15 minutes later...
Officers said the jogger ran the other way across the bridge around 15 minutes later and the victim attempted to speak to him, but "he did not acknowledge her".
This argument is just going to run and run...
Jogger is a ****. Complete and utter.
She is only slightly further to the right on the pavement than the guy before her so it is not like she is trying to walk in the joggers way - replaying the second clip section it looks definitely to be a push from him.
If it was a mistake he would surely have stopped to apologise, and he ignored her when she tried to confront him on the other side of the road when he was coming back, apparently.
I think it is pretty obvious the bloke is just a d1ck as the pavement was so wide it was an easy task to miss her. If he had previously met her then maybe there is a case for a pretty serious charge?
I think he is going to have to change his route, color his hair and get some new running kit...
Woman tries to trip jogger
Jog on pal...

Right. But what do you think has happened here? What looks like a perfectly normal bloke running along a wide pavement just decides to push over some random woman passing in the other direction & then runs on, apparently without a second glance 😕
The BBC also indicated that she tried to speak to him after as he passed back the other way and he ignored her. I suspect that this is not the whole story here.
maybe she shouted something at him as he approached and that's what made him turn towards her. As he turns she then sticks her leg out trying to trip him up, but trips herself up over the kerb.
Bus Driver was a bit of hero..He was pretty on the ball to get that swerve in.
Seemingly normal jogger running along footpath, pushes women under bus, carries ony without looking behind and later on jogs back as if nothing happened and ingore woman.
It appears the only rational explanation is that the jogger was temporarily possessed by a demonic spirit.
They don't even pay road tax you know.
About 6 weeks ago as I run long Embankment, close to the above incident, I was given a punishment pass ..... by a cyclist 😯
case closed? 😆

I would say the two have previous and he absolutely did that deliberately. No question, and I'd happily sit on a jury and make a clear decision.
Looks like he just kind of drifts over the road daydreaming and she just bounces of his shoulder, does't really look like a shove or anything to me. In a micro second he decides to keep jogging on instead of dealing with the situation which is pathetic and cowardly.

Then 15 minutes later runs past her again?
It does look as though the jogger gestures towards her as they get closer then moves towards her. I'm betting they know each other.
I've played it back really slowly and I reckon she raises the foot before the push, but that she already knew the push was coming
As he turns she then sticks her leg out trying to trip him up, but trips herself up over the kerb.
It's not a kerb - it's a shadow. She's on her arse with her head in the road before she's touching the kerb. She didn't trip over anything.
