Nova Scotia Health is asking for the public’s help in locating a missing patient from a Dartmouth hospital.

Thirty-one-year-old Anthony Frederick Sottile has been reported missing, and officials say his risk to himself and others increases the longer he is away from treatment.

Sottile is described as being about five feet ten inches tall and weighing approximately 156 pounds with closely shaven black hair. A photo of him has been shared by Nova Scotia Health to assist in the search.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency immediately.
