Banker denies being London's 'pushy jogger' following arrest

Lawyers for the man accused of being the jogger who pushed a woman in front of a bus say he was in the US at the time of the incident, which was caught on CCTV.

Lawyers for an American investment banker arrested on suspicion of pushing a woman into the path of a London bus say he has nothing to do with it.

Law firm Duncan Lewis Solicitors said on Friday its client "has been wrongly implicated" in the case of a jogger who shoved a woman into traffic.

The firm said there is "irrefutable proof" the accused man was in the United States at the time of the May 5 incident.

Surveillance camera footage shows a jogger in shorts and T-shirt pushing a pedestrian, who tumbles in front of a double-decker bus. The bus stops just before hitting the woman.

Police arrested a 41-year-old man on Thursday on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm.

He was later released pending further inquiries. Police did not disclose his name.
