At the time of his disappearance he was wearing blue jeans, a black or grey hooded jacket and brown Timberland type boots.

A spokesman for the Met said: “Officers and his family are growing increasingly concerned for Usman as he may be confused and unable to take care of himself.

“Usman is known to frequent most of London as he likes to walk, however most recently he has been in Waltham Forest, Enfield and Tottenham.”
