We can't say that pedestrians need to be constantly looking for runners and dodging out of their way. If you run it's up to you to avoid obstacles, including slower or stationary people.

He would have passed her without touching if he hadn't deliberately pushed her - even if he'd continued in a straight line and there wasn't a large clear space to his left that he could have used.
I don't know why you're trying to make excuses for him - there is none, it was clearly an unprovoked assault which could have had fatal consequences.

The guy in the clip is the typical arsehole who thinks he has a divine right to charge around the place. Many cyclists are far worse, especially in London .. I've seen them not bothering stopping at a zebra crossing.

There is absolutely no excuse for that. It simply cannot be justified, under any circumstances whatsoever. He is bloody lucky she's not dead.

I totally agree, and he needs to have the book thrown at him. That may make other arseholes think twice about it.

I am just as annoyed at any of them behaving badly including so-called "fellow" cyclists and runners. Not sure how this got on to cyclists tbh. but cyclists or runners, don't taint all of them on the actions of what actually is a minority. I've sat at traffic lights with (no exaggeration) 20+ cyclists waiting patiently when one or two blatantly sail through red. Don't tar us all due to the actions of those idiots.
If that's not what Fretwired really meant then I accept that, but it's *not* how it comes across.
There's no more excuse for it than for some other arsehole trying to endanger you with two tons of metal, so why (again) are you having a go at me for something I basically agree with you about?

Call me old fashioned, misogynistic or at best chivalrous, but one of the more horrific elements of this to me is it's a man doing it to a woman.
Wrong on so many levels.
