Met Police ask public for help as vulnerable man goes missing after Natural History Museum visit

A vulnerable Wandsworth man has been missing for 4 days and his family is "extremely worried for his welfare". Mazhar Ahmad, 58, had been visiting the Natural History Museum with his father when he made off after they left on Thursday, June 6.

His father last saw him outside the museum, which is near Hyde Park Corner, at 5.38pm heading towards Knightsbridge. Mazhar is vulnerable and requires medication for his mental health that he does not have with him. He speaks very little English, and will not talk to strangers, meaning that officers are concerned he will be either unable to ask for help, or may have been taken unwell somewhere.

Mazhar has a history of going missing and during previous disappearances, he is known to have walked for up to 20 miles. Therefore he could be in other surrounding boroughs or even outside of London.
