Officers are issuing two images of Patient in a bid to trace him as his family and friends have started to worry. 

They’re desperate for him to return home and are asking for the public’s help.

Detective Constable Louise Mayhook, from the Met’s South East Command Unit, said: ‘Patient has now been missing for close to 24 hours and I want to find him and bring him home safely.

‘I am asking the public to please keep their eyes peeled and contact us if they have any information about his whereabouts.’
