Mystery surrounds elderly woman abandoned at hospital by man
CCTV footage of the moment a man left an elderly woman outside a Queensland Hospital has been released in an effort to help identify the woman.
Queensland police have appealed for help from the public after the woman was found in a distressed state at Nambour Hospital at around 12.20pm on Sunday.
The woman has been unable to communicate with staff since she was left alone on a chair outside of the hospital by the unknown man.
CCTV footage shows a man believed to be around 60-years-old and Caucasian in appearance, walk the woman to a chair and leave the area immediately after.
The woman is believed to be between 80 and 90 years old. She has a slim build and greying hair.
She was wearing a long brown coat and slippers when she arrived at the hospital.
Queensland police told Yahoo News Australia they had received a few leads but the woman had still not been positively identified.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a report online.
