British&nbsp;police&nbsp;released a&nbsp;new&nbsp;image&nbsp;on Wednesday in a fresh bid to trace a male&nbsp;jogger&nbsp;who appeared to push a woman into the path of an oncoming&nbsp;bus&nbsp;on a&nbsp;busy&nbsp;Londonstreet four months ago.

Video footage of the apparently callous incident on Putney Bridge, southwest&nbsp;London, has been repeatedly screened on British television but the runner has yet to be found.

Footage shows him jog past one man on the bridge on May 5 before knocking into the 33-year-old victim. She tumbled head-first into the path of an oncoming&nbsp;bus, which managed to swerve out of her way, missing her by inches.

The&nbsp;new&nbsp;CCTV still was taken from the&nbsp;bus, and shows a white man in a grey top and dark shorts.&nbsp;Police&nbsp;said he came back the other way across the bridge 15 minutes later but did not acknowledge the victim when she tried to speak to him.

&quot;Images of this alarming incident have been circulated widely and we continue to work through the information received to identify the man responsible,&quot; said Detective Sergeant Chris Griffith.

Two men arrested last month in connection with the incident have both been&nbsp;released without charge.

The United Arab Emirates has urged men to avoid wearing the white robes, headscarf and headband of the national dress when travelling abroad, after a businessman visiting the United States was wrestled to the ground and held as an Islamic State suspect. 
 
UAE media reported that the Emirati man was detained in Avon, Ohio, last week after a female clerk at a local hotel called 911 to report what she had described as a man affiliated to Islamic State, according to the Arabic-language al-Bayan newspaper. It only identified him by his initials. 
 
The English language publication The National said the receptionist at the Fairfield Inn hotel called the police after she heard the man talking on his phone in the hotel lobby. 
 
UAE newspaper&nbsp;Gulf News&nbsp;published photos of the Emirati man in robes being wrestled to the ground and handcuffed before being led away by the police. 
 
In a message on a foreign ministry Twitter account focusing on citizens travelling abroad, the ministry said on Saturday:&nbsp;&quot;For citizens travelling outside the country, and in order to ensure their safety, we point out not to wear formal dress while travelling, especially in public places.&quot; The message was dated July 2, and made no reference to the Avon incident. 
 
The foreign ministry, in a message posted in Arabic and English on its website, urged citizens to abide by the laws of countries they are visiting. It alerted women to countries in Europe whose laws prohibit wearing of face covers, also without referring to the incident in Avon. 
 
Local newspapers said Avon police released the man after they realised their mistake, but he fainted and needed hospital treatment. 
 
Al-Bayan reported that the citizen had hired a lawyer to pursue the case, saying he had received no apology from either the police or the hotel.

Protesters burnt vehicles and set tires on fire to barricade roads in South Africa&#39;s capital on Tuesday, June 21, after the ANC named a mayoral candidate not nominated by the ruling party&#39;s regional branches.

Protesters in Pretoria burn cars, tires after unnominated man becomes mayoral candidate

Declared a proclaimed offender in a money laundering case and wanted in India, liquor baron Vijay Mallya was spotted at a book launch event at the London School of Economics this week that was attended by Indian High Commissioner Navtej Sarna, causing flutters back home. 
 
Social media was in a frenzy after it emerged that Sarna, who was one of the special guests at the event on Thursday evening to mark the launch of socialite Suhel Seth&#39;s new book, was also present at the event when the business tycoon arrived. 
 
As television news channels showed pictures of Sarna and Mallya in the hall where the event was held, questions were raised over the presence of the high commissioner at an event where a personality wanted by enforcement agencies in India was also present. 
 
While Suhel Seth contended that it was an open event at the LSE, where anyone could come because of the open invitation, Mallya was not invited to the high commission reception nor was he present. 
 
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) also got into the act when it issued a statement, saying Sarna left the event without waiting for the interactive session after he spotted Mallya. 
 
&quot;When the High Commissioner spotted Mallya in the audience he left the stage and venue immediately after making his comments and without waiting for the interactive session,&quot; the MEA said in the statement. 
 
The MEA said, &quot;there were two clear segments, the book launch by UK Minister Jo Johnson and discussion at LSE, and later a reception at the High Commission for select guests. 
 
&quot;The list of invitations for the LSE event was determined by LSE. They have written to the High Commissioner that Mallya was not on their list. They have also said that the event was advertised widely through social media and attendees were not required to register in advance. 
 
&quot;Mallya was certainly not an invitee to the reception at the High Commission for which the invitations were issued by the High Commission, and was not present.&quot;
