A mental health patient “known to become violent” has gone missing in Lewisham.

Police are asking the public to call if they see Daniel Henry who has not been seen since Sunday night.

Mr Henry was last seen at midnight close to his home in Deptford after he left the Ladywell Unit in Lewisham Hospital.

Police say Mr Henry urgently requires medication to manage his mental health.

A Met Police spokesman said: “Daniel has been known to become violent and therefore police are asking members of the public not to approach him, but to call 999 if seen.”

Mr Henry is described as a light-skinned black man, who is slim and about 5ft 11ins tall.

He has dreadlocks, and was last seen wearing a black woolly hat, dark blue jogging bottoms, a black jacket and trainers.
