HALIFAX—A man gone missing from a hospital in Dartmouth has been located.

The Nova Scotia Health Authority said on Aug. 30 that they were looking for 28-year-old Mohamed Mandi Issak.

“The patient’s risk to himself and others increases with the length of time he is away from hospital,” a statement said from the health authority. “Anyone with information is asked to please contact their local law enforcement agency.”

The release from the health authority didn’t say specifically when Issak had gone missing.

In an update Wednesday, the health authority said he was located on Tuesday night and “safely returned to hospital.”

No other details were provided in a release.

In January of 2016, Issak was arrested and charged after a 52-year-old man was stabbed with scissors while on an elevator at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax.

Police said at the time the two men knew each other, with the victim suffering several small puncture wounds.

Issak was charged with assault causing bodily harm and assault with a weapon. One of the charges was later dropped and he was found guilty of the other, but not criminally responsible.
