Police are looking for a man missing from hospital.

Joseph Bruno, 48, was last spotted at the site in Darenth Wood Road, Dartford, this morning.

The 48-year-old was last seen wearing green hospital pyjamas and a blue zip jacket, shortly before he left the hospital at around 9.30am.

A police spokesperson said: “There are medical concerns related to Joseph, who usually wears a protective hat on his head and who may sometimes have difficulty engaging with people.

“It is believed that he initially travelled to Bluewater and from there used the bus network. Joseph is thought to have then headed towards the Bexleyheath and Woolwich areas of London.”

Joseph is described as being black, of stocky build, bald and around 5ft 8.

Officers are seeking help to locate him and are requesting anyone who may be able to help get in touch.

Anyone with information on Joseph’s whereabouts should call 999, quoting reference 08-0463.
