Eugene Johnson suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, but that didn’t stop him from walking out of the University of Miami Hospital Tuesday morning, Miami police said.

And they would like the public’s help in finding the 78-year-old Johnson.

When last seen around 10 a.m. Tuesday, Johnson was wearing a gray cap, a gray long-sleeved jacket and black pants. He’s 5-foot-8, 140 pounds with white hair and brown eyes. He’s considered an endangered adult.

Anyone with information on Johnson’s whereabouts can call Miami police at 305-603-6300 or 305-579-6111.
