Police are becoming increasingly concerned for the safety of a man who is missing without his medication.

Ahmed Deria, 32, from Cowley, was last seen at a medical centre in Manzil Way, East Oxford, at about 2.55pm on Thursday.

Mr Deria is between 5ft 9in and 6ft tall, thick set, with short black curly hair. He was last seen wearing a brown leather jacket, blue jeans, a black shirt and black shoes.

Sgt Jim Holmes said: “Ahmed takes regular medication and we are growing increasingly concerned for his welfare as he hasn’t taken this medication for a couple of days now.

“We ask anyone who sees Ahmed not to approach him as he may be agitated or distressed. If you think you’ve seen him, please call the police immediately.”

Anyone with information about his whereabouts should call police on 08458 505505.
