The Metropolitan Police has launched an urgent manhunt for a man previously described as a “risk to women”.<\/p>\n

Balasankar Narayanan, 46, went on the run from his care facility in Ilford, East London, marking the third time he has fled from supervised care. <\/p>\n

The 46-year-old escaped in South Park last Thursday at around 2pm while on escorted leave.<\/p>\n

During his first escape in August 2024, officers described him as violent and “a risk to women” after he escaped a facility while on a walk with staff at the park.<\/p>\n

He went missing in East London for the second time in January 2025.<\/p>\n

Mr Narayanan has currently been classed as high-risk due to his mental health diagnosis.<\/p>\n

Officers have no current concerns relating to him committing a sexual offence or any escalation in risk.<\/p>\n

He is known to have shaved his head and was last seen wearing a light green T-shirt, grey and black shorts, black socks with red stripes, and grey shoes at 2pm on September 3.<\/p>\n

Mr Narayanan has previously been located in Essex and Manchester.<\/p>\n

He is thought to have connections across Newham, Greenford, Hammersmith, Highgate, Ilford, and the West Midlands.<\/p>\n

Operational intelligence from previous incidents has revealed that Narayanan regularly relied on public transport, particularly the rail network, to travel between locations after fleeing care facilities.<\/p>\n

Police have urged the public to contact them with any information concerning Mr Narayanan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Metropolitan Police has launched an urgent manhunt for a man previously described as a “risk to women”.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1193860,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7757],"tags":[113921,748,393,4884,257,12,529,16,15],"class_list":["post-1193859","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-london","tag-across-the-uk","tag-britain","tag-england","tag-great-britain","tag-london","tag-news","tag-police","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1193859","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1193859"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1193859\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1193860"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1193859"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1193859"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1193859"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
