The 33-year-old victim was walking across a bridge when a man jogging knocked her over into the road and into the path of an oncoming bus, which narrowly missed hitting her.

The bus stopped and some passengers got off and came to the victim's aid.

She received minor injuries from the incident.

About 15 minutes later the jogger came back the other way across the bridge.

The victim tried to speak to him but he did not acknowledge her and carried on jogging.
