City police are looking for a partially clothed man they say is a patient at the North Bay Regional Health Centre.
Billy Brochu is a 28-year-old Caucasian male.
He is 5'4" in height, 160 pounds, with sandy-brown, shoulder-length unkempt hair and a full beard.
"He was last seen wearing a yellow, blue, and black T-shirt with a grey T-shirt over it. It is believed he has discarded his pants and is wearing black underwear, socks, and running shoes," says a police alert.
Brochu was last seen running northbound into the bushes north of the hospital between College Drive and Duchesnay Falls at around 2:10 this afternoon.
Brochu is not considered a danger to the public but hospital staff and police are concerned for his well-being.
Police ask that if you have seen Brochu to contact the North Bay Police at 705-472-1234.
