POLICE are searching for a Scottish man who has been missing overnight and they believe may be injured and in need of treatment.
James Williams, 41, was most recently seen in the Seaton Walk area of Aberdeen at around 8.50pm on Monday, August 28, 2023.
Police said they have reason to be concerned for his welfare and asked anyone who could help trace the missing man to get in touch “urgently”.
Williams is described as being white, 5’11, of slim build and with short, ginger hair.
He was last known to be wearing a navy blue Nike tracksuit and red flip-flops.
Inspector Stuart Fisher said: “We're concerned for James's welfare as we have reason to believe he may have injuries which would require treatment.
“I would urge anyone who may have seen or heard from him at any time since Monday evening to contact us as a matter of urgency.
“If James himself sees this, please come forward, so we can ensure you're safe and well.
“Anyone with information can call 101, quoting reference 3782 of 29 August.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
