LOCATED: Missing man, Mackay

Police are appealing for public assistance to help locate a 52-year-old man reported missing from Mackay.

The man was last seen at 2.30pm today at a business on Shakespeare Street and has not been in contact since.

Police hold concerns for his welfare as his disappearance is out of character and he has an intellectual disability which limits his speech.

He is described as Caucasian, 157cm tall with a stocky build, short brown hair and a scar above his left eyebrow.

He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt with a green patch on the front, cream shorts, black sandshoes and white socks.
