The man had then been gone since 15.30 from central Strömsund. At 9.20 pm, the police received a call about the disappearance.

The man is 170-175 centimeters tall, has combed back hair, and wears white tennis shoes, blue jeans, a black hoodie. He is said to be walking by lifting his right foot in a special way, according to the police.

The man has a disease picture and has a history of disappearing before. The police have sent a patrol from Östersund to Strömsund in the evening.

- Patrols are on their way there, we have not started a rescue service yet but there is much to suggest that we will land there, says RLC commander André Westberg to SVT Nyheter Jämtland.

If the public has tips about the man, the police can be contacted on 112.
