A man is appealing for help in locating his missing father who suffers from dementia.

Rafik Ali, 53, has been missing from his home in Wolseley Road in Forest Gate since April 10.

He was last seen in Finsbury Park, at about 2pm on Friday, wearing a navy jacket, grey jogging trousers and grey trainers.

Rafik’s son, Shahin Alam, said: “We are really worried about our dad, for his safety and well being, especially in his medical condition.

“Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.”

Officers are increasingly concerned for his wellbeing and would urge anyone with information on his whereabouts to call police on 101 or Missing People on 116 000.
