Tengo difícil al traducirlo.
pero en inglés pienso que significa... When some thing unexpected happens Después de entrar el banco el hombre sin comerlo ni beberlo se metió en un desvalijamiento el que estaba en marcha. Without knowning, the man entered the bank while unexpectly there was a robbery in progress. No sé un dicho parecido, lo siento. ¿Tiene razón la frase española?

An innocent bystander (one word) seems like the best fit.
This is a person who, by happenstance, gets involved in something/gets blamed for something they had nothing to do with.
