The Los Angeles County Department of Health Services Thursday sought the public’s help in identifying a patient hospitalized at one of its facilities.
The male patient has been at the Los Angeles General Medical Center since Friday, according to a county news statement. He was said to have been found near the Los Angeles area, but authorities did not narrow down the location further.
The roughly 20-year-old male was described as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 170 pounds with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
It was unclear why the patient required help in being identified.
Anyone with any information regarding the patient was urged to call Clinical Social Worker Laura Ramos at 323-409-7779 or, after hours at 323-409-6883,
