Police in Hamilton hold grave fears for a tetraplegic man who was last seen in the city centre on Tuesday morning.

They say the man, 53, has no mobility and controls his wheelchair with head movements.

He is described as bald and wearing dark sunglasses, and was last seen travelling north on the western side of Victoria Street just before 10.45am.

Police believe he may have taken a river path while heading towards the St Andrews area.
