Ross

I believe the answer is:

bystander

(Other definitions for bystander that I've seen before include "Bad sentry may be an onlooker" , "Watcher of occurrence" , "Onlooker (often innocent)" , "Non-participant spectator" , "Non-partcipating spectator" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
