Halifax-area police are looking for a missing man who was last seen at the Dartmouth General Hospital on Friday afternoon.

Police say Ryan James MacIsaac is legally blind and he walks with a cane.

Concern for MacIsaac is growing because he needs medication for a chronic condition.

He’s about five-foot-nine with a slim build – he was last seen wearing a green hospital housecoat.
