A homeless man pushed a cop into the path of an oncoming bus with the horror moment captured on CCTV.
The vagrant exchanged heated words with a police officer as he sat on a bench at the bus stop.
She turned to say something to him but he jumped from his seat and shoved her off the step – right into the path of the bus.

The vehicle hit the cop, dragging her along the road for several metres.
Meanwhile, the homeless man collected his bin bag of belongings and hurried away from the scene.
The emergency services arrived promptly at the Canal de San Juan bus station in the Mexican capital Mexico City to deal with the injured officer.
She reportedly suffered a head trauma after being struck by the bus on the morning of 30 November.
According to reports, the bus driver managed to brake in time and the cop’s head injury wasn’t too serious.
She was taken to the nearby Álvaro Obregón Hospital where she was discharged later the same day.
Mexico City Metrobús said they are in contact with the cop to keep up to date with her recovery.
The homeless suspect was arrested by the police and currently faces charges of attempted femicide.
A Metrobús spokesperson said: “The subject was arrested and presented before the Public Ministry where an investigation was opened for the crime of attempted femicide.”
A video of the incident has garnered 91,000 views and dozens of comments on X.
One local said: “They shouldn’t let these people onto public transport.”
Another wrote: “Everyone is talking bad about the guy, who obviously did wrong, but no one is mentioning the cop who preferred to be on her mobile phone rather than paying attention to what’s happening around her.”
Jose commented: “Officers should not carry mobile phones, it’s a distraction for them, they should be more alert.”
The investigation continues.
An average of 22 million people use the Metrobús public transport service every year, as reported by Need To Know.
