Police in Manchester are becoming 'increasingly concerned' for the welfare of a man who they believe may have boarded a train to Glasgow.
The Manchester Evening News reports that the man, named as Mohamud by cops, left Wigan's Royal Albert Edward Infirmary at around 8pm on Monday August 1. He did not return to work for his shift the next day, police said.
Officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) believe he caught the 10.27am train from Wigan station to Glasgow on Tuesday morning, but he has not been seen since. An appeal to trace him was issued by GMP on Wednesday.
Mohamud is described as being a black male, with a thick, black beard and a buzz haircut. He is between 5ft 7in and 6ft tall and is of slim build with broad shoulders.
When he was last seen he was wearing a grey, zipped hooded jacket, a bright blue scrubs-style t-shirt, dark blue baggy trousers and black trainers. Police shared a picture of Mohamud on social media as part of an appeal.
A GMP spokesperson said: "Officers are becoming increasingly concerned about Mohamud from Wigan and want to make sure he is safe and well. Mohamud finished his shift at Wigan Hospital and did not return to work the next day.
"Officers believe Mohamud got on the 10:27 train at Wigan station which goes to Glasgow."
