Police Appeal For Help Identifying Mystery man
Humberside Police have appealed to the public for help in identifying a man found sleeping rough suffering from dissociative fugue, a condition described as a "temporary loss of identity".
Police say that the man has said he is called David or Tony Thorpe, with a date of birth of 5 October 1995. He believes that he could be from Rotherham and may have links to Blackpool.
However, it is understood that a search of police and NHS systems had found nothing on the man.
Det Ch Insp Paul Welton said: "This is a very rare case in which somebody will come to an area, and have no idea who they are and if they have any family.
"The man is no longer sleeping rough and is being supported by the police and a number of agencies.
"He does not drink alcohol and does not take any form of drugs or medication, this is a genuine case of somebody who really does need to the help of the public to return home to his family and his friends."
