Police are appealing for information after a 28-year-old man went missing from a hospital.

Christopher Murphy was last seen at Royal Preston Hospital in Lancashire at around 12.30pm on Wednesday, June 7.

Police said he is believed to have left the site and has not been seen or heard from since.

It is also believed that he travelled to Bristol and Weymouth in April, so it is possible that he may have links there. 

He is originally from London and police say it is possible he may have travelled there.

They said they were becoming increasingly concerned for his welfare.

PC John Bantios-Harkin, of Preston Police, said: “This is extremely out of character for Chris and we are asking anybody who has seen him, or knows where he may be, to contact us as soon as possible. Similarly we would also urge Chris, if he sees this appeal, to get in touch to let us know he is safe.”

Chris is described by police as white, of medium build, with short, red hair in a ‘Mohican’ style.

He is also a wheelchair user and has two tattoos on his right arm – one of a female name and one of a scribble.

Anybody with information is asked to contact Lancashire police on 101, quoting log number 1613 of June 7.
