Do you know this man? Mystery as man in his 30s 'suffering memory loss' is found wandering around barefoot
Police have asked for help solving a bizarre case in which a young man suffering memory loss was found wandering barefoot through a busy metropolitan area.
Australian Capital Territory Police said the man in his 30s was spotted in a state of confusion outside the Griffin Centre in Canberra about 3.20pm on Wednesday.
The man, believed to be named Daniel, was barefoot at the time and wearing a yellow/green t-shirt and grey trousers.
Unable to state with any certainty his most basic identifying information, he was transported to a nearby hospital by the ACT Ambulance Service.
He told authorities he lived either in south Canberra or New South Wales.
Through his memory fog, he told authorities he may drive a white vehicle and could possibly work in an IT or data-related field.
He is of Caucasian appearance and a slim build and roughly 175cm in height with blue eyes and red/blonde hair.
Police released an image of the mystery man in a hospital bed, his hair closely-cropped with a light covering of red-blonde facial hair.

Tammy Hembrow's roided up brother learns his fate over sickening crimes against girlfriend: Victim warns Aussies to 'lock your doors' after delivering powerful victim statement about how he destroyed her life
The half-brother of fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow will be released from prison after pleading guilty to a series of domestic violence offences against his ex-girlfriend. Henri Oscar Thynne, 21, admitted to charges including common assault, stalking and two counts of strangulation in the Brisbane District Court on Thursday, where a judge described him as a 'menace'. Thynne was sentenced to a maximum three years in prison - but a minimum sentence that ended today, given time already served at Queensland 's high security Arthur Gorrie Correctional Centre. The court heard that during one incident, the then-couple were watching a movie together when Thynne hit her in the head and called her a 'c**t'. On another occasion he pushed her against a wall and choked her while saying 'I own you'. Thynne's victim - who cannot be named for legal reasons - bravely read out loud a powerful victim impact statement recounting the impact his violence has had on her. 'I question my safety in everyday situations. This experience has left lasting marks on my life,' she began. '(Before the assaults) I was a happy, confident and expressive person through my personality, social media and network interactions with other people.' The court heard she was now so fearful that she packed up and moved interstate twice. 'Since experiencing the abuse and assaults from him, I have changed. 'I had to relocate homes two times in two different states to attempt to feel safe, but no matter where I went, it was flooded with anxiety and fear that I would be confronted by him.' Thynne showed little emotion while sitting in the dock, occasionally rocking back and forth with his head to the ground. Defence barrister Greg McGuire said the couple had an 'odd' relationship with both of them being bodybuilders who used steroids during their relationship. A medical report stated that Thynne had diminished emotional control and impaired judgement due to severe steroid use since the age of 16. Thynne's parents Nathaniel Thynne and mother Nathalie Stanley did not appear to be in court during the sentencing. Soon after sentencing concluded the victim posted a stark warning on her social media page. 'Lock your doors!! A criminal has been set free in Brisbane even after pleading guilty to everything!' the post began. 'Pre warning - he pleaded guilty to sexual assault, assault, strangulation x2 and unlawful charges like breaches of the DVO (domestic violence order) and bail and still got released on parole!' 'Law legislation needs some work… this is not acceptable and best believe it will not be the last time you hear from me about it,' she concluded. Prior to Thynne's imprisonment last July he took to social media Q&A after being asked if his musculature was 'natty', or natural. Instead of answering yes or no, Henri replied with a meme that read: 'That's a nice argument you have there. Unfortunately my muscles are bigger than yours.' He added that he had been 'tired of being a small sad nerd c***' and boasted that his buff physique was a result of 'hard work paying off'. 'Not gonna stop 'till I'm number one,' he said. In recent months Thynne's crimes have cause grief for his high-profile older half-sibling Tammy, 31, who faced fierce public backlash last month after publicly denying rumours she was supporting him. In a TikTok clip that has since clocked more than two million views, Hembrow denied that she bailed out her younger brother, stating she's not involved in 'any of the legal situation'. 'I don't usually address things like this, but this is a very serious topic, and what's being said about me is just not true,' she said. 'Firstly, I have had no involvement whatsoever in ever bailing my little brother out of anything. 'I'm not involved in any of the legal situation. I've [had] no contact with my brother. I haven't seen my brother. 'I'm not involved at all, in any way. So I wanted to make that clear.' She then explained that she doesn't condone 'violence in any form' and reiterated that her 'heart goes out to everyone involved'.

Queensland town in limbo after sonic boom; Australian universities drop in rankings; and river swimming in Europe
Good afternoon. Residents in a tiny north Queensland town say they have been ignored for two years by the RAAF after a sonic boom from a fighter jet shattered windows and damaged roofs. In June 2023, an F-35 fighter from the nearby Townsville RAAF base broke the sound barrier over Greenvale, causing what locals say was a 'bloody terrifying' explosion initially mistaken for a car crash or gas bottle eruption. When the dust settled, about 14 homes in a straight line across the town of 192 people were damaged. But since then there's been silence from the air force – and unable to afford replacements, and with no local tradespeople – shattered windows are still replaced with temporary timber boards. The Department of Defence said the episode occurred 'within an area where overland supersonic airspeeds are approved', but the local MP, Robbie Katter, has described the defence force response as 'indifference at best'.

It's all looking a bit apocalyptic, reckons Fiona Katauskas. 'Behind the filters and followers was a sophisticated criminal enterprise exploiting digital platforms to sell counterfeit luxury goods.' NSW police charged three men in Sydney on Wednesday as part of what Det Supt Peter Faux alleged was a $10m scheme to sell counterfeit luxury goods on social media. Police seized nine cars worth about $3m, more than 500 counterfeit luxury items, $270,000 in cash and a gel blaster imitation firearm.
