Hamburg (dpa / lno) - A 52-year-old preventive detainee from the Fuhlsbüttel correctional facility can still be found after an exit.

The police confirmed this on Monday morning in Hamburg.

The man was allowed to go unaccompanied for several hours on Saturday to visit a family member.

However, he did not return at the appointed time.

The institution then contacted a relative.

The latter said the 52-year-old had been taken to hospital for a medical emergency.

However, since this could not be confirmed, an immediate manhunt was initiated.
