There’s a police manhunt in south London after a patient at what Scotland Yard describes as “a mental health facility in Beckenham” escaped while on an accompanied walk on Sunday morning.

Do not approach: the police ask the public to call 999 if they see Abderrahmane Ariba

“Extensive enquiries are ongoing”, the Met says, to locate Abderrahmane Ariba, 30, who was last seen at about 9.30am on Sunday.

Police say that Ariba may have travelled to Croydon since he was last seen.

They are also looking for Ariba around Marble Arch.

“He is described as 5ft 5in tall and of large build,” the Met says.

“When last seen, he was wearing a blue polka dot T-shirt, black tracksuit trousers and black trainers.

“Members of the public are advised not to approach him. For an immediate sighting call 999.”

Otherwise, the police ask the public with information to call 101 quoting reference CAD 441/22Jul.
