POLICE are appealing for help in tracing the family or friends of a man who is currently in hospital following a suspected heart attack.

It is thought the man was out running in the Ravenscar area of Helsby before he was found collapsed by a walker at about 8.15am yesterday (Wednesday, November 2).

He has brown hair receding at the temples. He was dressed in a hooded Adidas black jacket with white stripes and a Carlsberg logo on the rear, dark blue tracksuit bottoms with three white stripes, and Adidas white trainers with three blue stripes.

The man has a tattoo of a bulldog wearing a red hat on his upper right arm. He also has a chain design tattoo in the same area.
