'Lovely' Glasgow man's disappearance completely out of character as police issue urgent appeal

An urgent appeal has been launched to help trace a 57 year-old man reported missing from Mount Florida.

Robert McMahon left his home shortly after 9am on Sunday, April 10 and travelled to Possilpark, possibly on the number 75 bus via the city centre.

He is then believed to have left an address in the Balmore Road at around 11am and was thought to be heading towards the city centre. He has not been seen since and concerns are now growing for his welfare.

Robert is described as 5ft 8ins with red greying hair. When last seen he was wearing a blue anorak, black jeans and carrying a rucksack. He also sometimes walk with a slight limp.

Glaswegians have commented on Police Scotland's post, describing Robert as a "lovely" and "great" guy who previously worked at the Victoria Hospital.

Inspector Ryan Curran, from Cathcart Police Office, said “I am appealing to the public for any information in that may assist us in tracing Roberts’s whereabouts. His disappearance is entirely out of character and our concerns for his welfare are increasing the longer he is out of contact.

“I would ask that anyone who has seen a man matching Robert’s description or who has any information on Robert’s whereabouts to get in touch with us as a matter of urgency. I would also appeal directly to Robert to please get in touch with his family or Police Scotland to let us know that you are safe.”

Anyone with information that could help is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2835 of Sunday, April, 10.
