POLICE have appealed for help from the public in locating a Bradford man who was last seen on Monday afternoon.

Paul McLean, 34, (pictured) went missing at about 1.30pm that day after staff at a private hospital gave him leave to go to Brighouse.

Police have asked anyone who sees him not to approach him but call police.

He is described as white, about 5ft 4ins tall, and of slight build.

He has short brown hair, blue eyes and has a tattoo of small blue dots on his left knuckles. He was wearing blue jeans, beige boots and a black leather jacket.

Police say he is known to frequent Bradford city centre and the Kirklees area, and also has links to Thames Valley, High Wycombe and Avon and Somerset.

He is not believed to pose a risk to members of the public, but police would ask anyone who sees him not to approach him and call West Yorkshire Police on 101, quoting log reference 0874 of May 18.
