The sisters of Nicholas Brandram, a man previously investigated in connection with the 'Putney pusher' case, have publicly challenged the Metropolitan Police's investigative process. In an interview on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, the sisters characterized the police's actions as "negligent and reckless."

The core of their complaint centers on the identification process. The sisters maintain that their brother did not match the physical description of the suspect released by the police during the investigation into the 2017 incident, where a jogger was pushed into the path of an oncoming bus on Putney Bridge. The case drew significant national attention due to the nature of the assault and the subsequent search for the perpetrator.

While the BBC report focuses on the family’s perspective regarding the police conduct, the Metropolitan Police have historically maintained that their investigations are conducted based on evidence and witness testimony. The sisters' comments highlight a growing tension regarding how the police handle suspect identification in high-profile cases and the potential impact on those wrongly identified or investigated. The report does not detail the specific evidence the police relied upon at the time, nor does it provide a response from the Metropolitan Police regarding these specific allegations of negligence.
