Toronto police are looking for a missing man who they say is a danger to himself and to others.

Thomas Brailsford, 55, was last seen in the Jane. St. and Bloor St. W. area around 2:30 p.m. Thursday wearing a black shirt, black pants and black shoes. He is described as standing six-feet-two-inches tall and weighing 215 lbs. with black hair that is balding and blue eyes.

Brailsford was charged with first-degree murder in 2010 after his mother, Barbara Starkey-Brailsford, 78, was found beheaded in her Scarlett Rd. apartment. He was later found not criminally responsible.

Brailsford had also gone missing from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in September 2014.

Police are warning anyone who sees Brailsford to not approach him and to call 911.
