0:00On April 19, 9 years ago, on Putney Bridge, a jogger deliberately shoved a 33-year-old woman into the path of a massive double-decker. Bus. Odd on CCTV, the footage showed him using both hands on an empty sidewalk before bolting. French-born driver, Oliver Sabrice, swirved his 12-ton rig at the last second, sparing her head by mere inches. Oliver slammed on the brakes right after, blocking traffic for several minutes. He rushed to help the stunned woman, who kept asking why it happened to her, and handed over his details as a witness. Shockingly, 15 minutes later, the jogger jogged back the other way, but ignored her shouts and kept going. The incident blew up online, but police closed the case in 2018 after chasing leads, including three arrests that went nowhere. Oliver, whose driven London buses since 2007, still eyes pedestrian's wearily on that bridge, haunted but not broken by the close call. Fast forward to now, and Oliver speculates the pusher and victim might have quietly
1:01settled things, explaining why she's never thanked him. A play inspired by the drama even hit a local stage last year, reimagining their viewpoints, but the mystery lingers with no fresh breaks. Police stand firm, all lines exhausted, but they're ready for any new tips via 1-0-1. This one's a stark reminder how one split-second rage can echo forever unsolved.
