Gresham police have safely found an endangered Wood Village man less than 24 hours after he went missing.

The 52-year-old man walked away from Village Manor at 2060 N.E. 238th Dr., in Wood Village at about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 29, said Lt. Steve Alexander, public information officer for the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.

The man requires medication for schizophrenia and has a history of wandering away from his home. These factors led police on Wednesday night to issue an alert asking the community to look for the man. He was found a short time later.
