On May 18 at around 6am, a young man, who is believed to be in his early 20s, was found in a park near Peterborough bus station. According to the police, he was not carrying any personal documents and had no memory of who he was or how he came to be there.

Experts at the Cavell Centre at Peterborough City Hospital, which has been the home for the amnesia sufferer since he was found, said that “Robert” (as he is known to staff) is suffering from a severe case of amnesia.

The amnesia victim said: "The last few weeks have been truly horrible. I go through so many different emotions.

"At times I am angry, frustrated, depressed, lost and confused. I just need to find out my name and I hope someone out there will recognise me and help."

Robert is 5ft 9ins tall, weighs 13st and has dark hair and blue eyes.

Dr Manaan Kar Ray, clinical director of acute care at the Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Clearly this is very upsetting for him as he cannot recall any details of his life including his own name, age, where he is from, or what he does for a job.

"We have made strenuous efforts to help him with his memory - including taking him back to where he was found - but nothing has been successful so far.

"Our staff have spent a lot of time with him, helping him to recall day-to-day activities, and he can use a computer and play football and basketball, but we are still no closer to finding out who he is.

"Understandably, he is now getting very frustrated and I hope this appeal will mean someone will recognise him and come forward."

Anyone who has information to help the amnesia suffer may call Cambridge and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust on 01733 776014 between 8am and 8pm.
