The Sudanese teenager, who speaks limited English, is described as black, 5ft 3 of slight build with short afro black hair and brown eyes.

Jalal was last seen wearing a navy blue T-shirt with a white Nike logo on, white shorts and black Nike trainers.

He was carrying a black sports bag with a grey Nike tracksuit believed to be inside.

Jalal has a long-standing bullet wound scar on his right knee and a single blade mark scar on the right and left upper backs of his arms.
