Police have found a man who absconded from a mental health facility in London after an urgent search.
Vasile Coceban was reported by staff at the Park Royal Centre for Mental Health in Brent on Wednesday morning.
The 36-year-old is believed to pose a risk to the public, the Metropolitan Police say.
But just after 7pm on Thursday, the force confirmed he had been found and was in police custody.
Detective Superintendent Andrew Brien said: ‘A high risk missing person investigation was quickly launched when we learned of the risk posed by Vasile. It is important we return him to the facility where he is being treated.
‘Extensive patrols have been conducted in the area where he is believed to be, but we are now appealing for the public’s help.
‘It is possible that Vasile is sleeping rough or camping in the Kilburn area or nearby.
‘Please check any sheds or gardens and keep your eyes peeled if walking in parks and open spaces.
‘Your information could be key to helping us find Vasile and keeping the public safe.’
