Toronto police say a man who was “believed to be a danger to himself and others” has been found after he went missing from the Queen Street and Ossington Avenue area.
Police referred to 41-year-old Craig Tucker as an “elopee,” which is a person described as a patient subject to detention at a psychiatric facility who leaves without permission.
Tucker went missing Friday but police said Saturday he had been located and returned.

He is being held on a “warrant of committal” but has community living privileges, officers said.
Queen Street and Ossington Avenue is the same area where the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health is located, but police would not confirm if Tucker is a patient there.
