What kind of jerk does such a thing?! She came really close to death from the looks of it. Good thing the bus driver was paying attention and managed to stop!

I hope he is caught! He acted the the school bully who feels the need to hit shoulders with everyone in the hallway. I think he will have a hard time coming up with a reasonable excuse.

Retribution has already begun. They called him a jogger.

That runner is the only reason I watch that bridge coverage, if they ban him I'm going to stop watching.

Should you be running against traffic, even on the sidewalk?

I hope the next time he does that, someone does something like this to him

Quite despicable indeed. But of course, it took just a few comments for someone to say 'yeah bloody runners, get off the sidewalk! I'm sick and tired of these assholes' or something of that sort...sigh

Never read the comments. This is even more the case for anything that involves cyclists...

Yeah, people are easily biased so it takes only one instance like this for many to decide all runners are jerks.

Just playing devil's advocate here to stop the lynch-mob madness... She was walking and looking down at her phone and in his way...

Wait, nevermind. She was just walking along and He actually ran out of his way to shoulder her into traffic. Time to look at why somebody would want her dead. Angry Ex? Insurance payout? Looks like a murder attempt that didn't go right.

Except that he turned around and ran back later? Like he was just running his regular route? This is really weird. Somebody doing that on purpose would keep running and even hop in a car to get away.

And he didn't exactly shove her in front of a bus. He knocked her down and there happened to be a bus coming up from behind him. He didn't necessarily know it was there. He could be just an asshole level 9, not asshole level 11.

Time for the Slowtwitch Mafia to search Strava for that run! What was the bridge and the time again?

I thought the same thing since he seemed to go out of his way to shove her. All I could picture was the meeting in a booth in some seedy bar paying this guy to do it.

The running back on the other side is so bizarre.

Also notice that he didn't make the same move on the big guy he ran by just beforehand, who was just about in the same line [judging by the shadow on the sidewalk]

Watching the video...I can't figure out why he did it. It looks like he ran out of his way to do it.

For fucks sake...wtf is wrong with people?

For one thing, I do believe there is an argument that he threw her in front of a bus. This action was deliberate, not none of this "I'm holding my line and lets play chicken" bullshit. He went into her, then extended both arms after making contact. And yes, it was a BUS LANE that he was running next to. The footage, I'm guessing, came from another bus in front of him with a rear facing camera, during a time where there seemed to be heavy traffic in all other lanes. One should be able to infer that if you throw someone into a busy street, you are indeed throwing them in front of a vehicle. Just because you didn't look back and see the vehicle, doesn't excuse you.

The fact that he chose to do this to a woman, and not the guy in front just blows my mind. Makes me think he knew her or had some type of gripe with her in the past. If that's the case, then there is a level of motive and premeditation. In which case he needs to be locked up and the key thrown away.

On her second attempt, the girl who tried to kill me [twice] ran her Beetle up onto the sidewalk behind me as I was running. She missed and crashed her car into the front of a store

Later, she claimed that she was distracted by her kids fighting in the back seat

Looks like she even moved to her L quite a bit, to try to get out of his way.
Then he went to his R purposely to drill her like that.
WTF??!!

Dude is busted. No excuse for that.

At the end of the vid, they have a profile shot from another bus's doorway cam

Someone is gonna see this & recognize him

"Hey, Mike, don't you usually run over the bridge around that time in the morning? If fact, this wanker kinda looks like you, too"

Well, the incident is being reported as happening on May 5th. So it's been 3 months, but only now the video was released? Not sure why it has taken so long.

It was most likely being used as evidence in the case: Evidence that is publicly released prior to a jury selection nullifies the evidence. It allows the jury goes into the trial with a bias.

Most videos like this are not able to be released until the case is over.
