Michael is described as white, around 6ft tall, of very slim build with dark brown hair and a dark, greying beard. He has tattoos on his arms and chest.
He was last seen wearing a dark green waxed jacket, a black jumper, dark blue jeans and blue trainers, but he may have changed clothing since then.
