POLICE are appealing for information on the whereabouts of a man who fled from a psychiatric unit.

Bruce Wacha was last seen at private hospital, Cygnet Wing, in Blackheath Hill, Greenwich, on October 24.

The 30-year-old, who was being detained at the hospital under the Mental Health Act, is required to take daily medication which he does not have with him.

He was seen again on October 25 when he visited two addresses in Southwark.

Police believe Mr Wacha, who is black, 6ft tall and has brown eyes, may also visit Lambeth and Hackney.

On the day he went missing he was dressed in dark clothing and was wearing a black baseball cap.

Investigating officer Detective Chief Inspector Sean Wanless said: "We are still asking members of the public who see Mr Wacha not to approach him but to call police."

Anyone who may know of his whereabouts should call 020 8297 1212.
