An appeal has been launched to identify a confused man discovered wandering the streets in the early hours by police.

Officers found the pensioner – believed to be Chinese – in Downham Way, Bromley, at around 2am today.

The man has been taken to a police station where he is safe and well but officers are keen to hear from anyone who can identify him so he can return home.

His name is possibly Lam or Petak.

Anyone who can identify this man should call Lewisham Police on 101 quoting 633/23OCT or Tweet @MetCC.
