He was wearing a black Puffa-style jacket, blue jeans, a blue and white checked shirt, black trainers with a star and stripe and a metal chain around his neck.

Sergeant Ross Wickings said: “We are concerned about where he is as he only arrived in England on (Tuesday) 19 November, does not know the Brighton area and speaks little English.”

Anyone who has seen him is asked to phone Sussex Police on 101.
