Joshua, who originates from Manchester, speaks with a Mancunian accent but he is also known to put on a Scottish accent when talking.

He is an avid football fan and is known to start conversations with strangers about the subject.

He can sometimes lose his hearing during conversations, and will repeat the word ‘parrot’ when this happens.

Officers are becoming increasingly concerned for Joshua's welfare and want to speak to anybody who has seen him.

Call 101 quoting incident number 1143 of October 8.
