THIS is the shocking moment a woman comes within INCHES of death as she is shoved in front of a London bus by a fellow shopper.
The victim, in her 60s, was sent tumbling in front of the moving double-decker in Pimlico, central London.
She had clashed with another woman in a nearby branch of Tesco Express moments before suffering the assault, just after 12 noon on May 29 last year.
Cops are now hunting a woman seen with two children at the time of the attack.
The pair had first met in Tesco, with the victim being shoved but leaving the supermarket unharmed.
However, they ran in to each other again outside Barclays Bank on Vauxhall Bridge Road and the same woman came up and shoulder barged the victim into the path of the oncoming bus.
She fell forward into the passenger doors and sustained grazes and bruising to her ankles, shins and knees, a cut to the top of her head and muscle injury to her shoulders.
But thankfully, she escaped without any serious injuries.
Detective Constable Samantha Edwards, from the Metropolitan Police, said: “This was an unprovoked assault which could have had much more serious consequences.
“A number of enquiries have been undertaken to locate the person responsible.
“If you recognise this woman I would ask you to contact police immediately.
“It goes without saying that he victim has been deeply affected emotionally by this whole incident.”
