Missing teenager Noah Donohoe was last seen riding his bicycle naked after possibly sustaining a serious head injury, police have said.
Police and the family of the 14-year-old from south Belfast are becoming increasingly concerned for his safety. They say this is completely out of character.
The PSNI has released further information about the last sighting of Noah who is understood to be a Year 10 pupil at St Malachy’s College in Belfast.
Chief Inspector Gavin Kirkpatrick said police believe Noah left his home in south Belfast on Sunday (21 June) at around 5.30pm.
He was on his black Apollo mountain bike wearing a black skateboarding helmet, khaki green North Face jacket, grey sweat shorts with an emblem on one leg, a tie-dye blue hoody, Nike trainers with a bright yellow ‘tick’ and he was carrying a khaki rucksack.
“Noah was seen on Ormeau Avenue at 5.45pm on Sunday evening. He is then sighted again on Royal Avenue heading towards York Street a short time after,” he said.
“Noah was then seen on North Queen Street heading towards the Limestone Road at 5.57pm.
“An eyewitness believes they saw a young male matching Noah’s description fall off his bicycle on Sunday evening, possibly sustaining a head injury, in the vicinity of North Queen Street/York Street, but we do not know the specific time,” added the PSNI Chief Inspector.
“We believe Noah got back on his bicycle, cycling into Northwood Road where he then abandons all his clothing, as he is seen a short time later cycling while naked. We believe Noah then dropped his bicycle and left the area on foot.
“There have been no further confirmed sightings of Noah since 6.08pm on Sunday.”
Police officers supported by air support unit, police dogs and our tactical support group have been searching the area, alongside community rescue service colleagues and volunteers.
