Guys are pretty hard-wired, imo, to protect women. Doing this sort of thing is so damned evil that I shake my head with wonder. And it's all the more tragic that the guy didn't immediately get his ass beat by concerned citizens.

Watching the video...I can't figure out why he did it. It looks like he ran out of his way to do it.
I think he was trying to show the lady that she was in his way so he purposefully ran into her shoulders. I see people do that to try and get people to look up from their cell phones and walk with their heads up. She was walking fine and he clearly went out of his way to hit her. I doubt he had any intention of knocking her into the bus lane but he clearly wanted her to clear a path for him.
He is an ass.

1. I'm estimating the path was about 12' wide.
2. Dude was running almost right down the center of the path. Why? He had several feet of room to his left.
3. She appeared to be moving to her left and out of his way.
4. He definitely made a move to his right and more into her path to purposely hit her.
5. Not sure why people think she was looking down at her phone. Her head is up and looking straight forward. Definitely no phone in her left hand and if you watch some of the slo-mo close up videos on the 'net about this incident you can see what appears to be her right arm swinging down by her side.
6. That bus driver really deserves some kind of accolades because their catlike reaction is the only reason that woman is alive.
7. That runner is a straight up dick and deserves whatever is coming to him.

Saw the headlines and thought maybe she was actively blocking him or messing with him somehow. Maybe a group of rowdy youths? But then saw the video. Fuck that guy.

I run over that bridge all the time - pavements are plenty wide, and even if it weren't - run somewhere else - guy is clearly a nut job.

Can we at least confirm it's not the guy who punched a woman during that triathlon a few years back?
Maybe he thought she was a gorilla?
