Family in desperate plea to find vulnerable Scot who vanished from hospital

A family has issued a desperate plea to find a vulnerable Scot who vanished after attending hospital.

Stephen Jackson, 27, was last seen at Gartnavel Hospital in Glasgow on Saturday, April 30.

His family first became aware he had vanished at around 7pm last night.

Stephen has been described as 'vulnerable' and his family are urging anyone with information to come forward.

His cousin Shelby Thompson told the Daily Record : "We're really concerned because he has gone missing on a Saturday night in Glasgow and today there's an Old Firm game on.

"He doesn’t know what’s he saying and we’re worried that something is going to happen to him.

"It was raining last night and he doesn’t have a good coat on. We're just devastated and very worried about him and want to get him home."

Stephen has connections across the city and could be anywhere, Shelby admitted.

The family has asked that people don't approach Stephen but phone the police immediately to alert them to his whereabouts.

Shelby added: "We just want to let him know that we love him and we only want the best for him. We just want to be there for him.

"Please, Stephen, can you just let us know where you are and that you're safe."

Stephen was wearing a bright orange jacket when he was last seen.

A Police Scotland spokesperson confirmed Stephen has been reported missing and enquiries are ongoing to trace him.
