CCTV footage of the incident appeared to show the runner, described as a white man in his 30s with brown eyes and short, brown hair, pushing the 33-year-old into the path of the Number 430 bus.

Oliver Salbris, the bus driver, managed to swerve and miss the woman’s head by inches, while the jogger ran on.

The Telegraph understands that the suspect is a decorated Army captain who works as a director at a bank.

He is understood to have familial links to some of Europe’s leading royal dynasties, including the British monarchy.

During the incident in 2017, a woman was walking south when a jogger running in the opposite direction appeared to push her into the road at about 7.40am.

Detectives interviewed 50 men and arrested three suspects at the time, but no one was ever charged.
