But investigating officer Sergeant Mat Knowles said she was "put in extreme danger" when she was knocked into the road.
He added: "It was only due to the superb quick reactions of the bus driver that she was not hit by the vehicle."
The bus stopped and passengers tended to the woman following the incident at about 7.40am on May 5.
Cops said the jogger ran the other way across the bridge around 15 minutes later and the victim attempted to speak to him, but "he did not acknowledge her".
