Nova Scotia’s health authority says a patient who went missing from a Dartmouth hospital has been found.

Nova Scotia Health said Thursday it was looking for a 36-year-old man it described as a risk to himself and others.

It said the risk increased the longer he was away from treatment.

The health authority said in a Friday morning update the man has been found and returned to the hospital.
