A patient who is missing from Knockbracken Healthcare Park could pose a risk to the public and should not be approached.

John McCarthy, 28, had been a patient at the South Belfast health centre and was reported missing on Tuesday, July 7.

He requires daily medication which he has not received and could be considered a risk to himself or others without it so should not be approached by members of the public.

John was last seen at the Healthcare Park at 10.10am on Tuesday and was wearing blue jeans, blue and white trainers, a dark grey t-shirt and a white hooded top. He is described as being around 5’7” tall, heavy build with black collar length hair which is going thin on top.

The PSNI are now appealing for anyone who has seen John to not approach him but call police.

Sergeant Paul Reid has appealed for members of the public with any information about John’s whereabouts to contact officers in Castlereagh on 101.
