Officers appeal to public to trace man who absconded from Ilford hospital

Met officers are appealing to the public to help trace a man who absconded from a mental health facility in east London last week.

Kanya Ntuli, 35, was last seen at 07:19hrs on Friday, 1 November where he left Goodmayes Hospital in Ilford.

He is described as a black man, 6ft tall, medium build and last known to be wearing a grey jacket, blue/green t-shirt, black trousers and black trainers.

Kanya has links to Hackney, Walthamstow, Chingford and the River Lea areas.

While our investigation to locate Kanya continues, we are appealing to the public to help locate him.

We are concerned for his wellbeing and if seen, we are advising people to call police rather than approach him.

If seen, please call 999 immediately, quoting CAD 3125/1Nov.
