POLICE searching for a missing man say he suffers from ongoing pain.

Simon Brown was last seen at 10am yesterday (Tuesday, August 30) in the Walrow Terrace area of Highbridge.

Mr Brown, aged 58, is white, of slim build with short brown greying hair which is receding.

He has chin stubble and is believed to be wearing a brown coloured jacket which has lots of pockets.

He is also carrying a dark blue shoulder bag.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: "He may appear to be in some discomfort as he has on-going pain from his back, shoulder and hips.

"Although he normally wears spectacles he does not have them with him and struggles to read without them."

Searches are continuing in the Highbridge area, where Mr Brown is believed to be.

The spokesman added: "We would like Simon, or anyone recognising him, to contact us on 101, quoting reference 5216193199."
