Police are urgently hunting for a mother and her newborn baby daughter who have gone missing from a maternity hospital.
Charlotte Bevan left Bristol Maternity Hospital between 8.30pm and 9pm last night with her four-day-old baby girl, Zarnee Teanna.
The 30-year-old did not have a coat or shoes, and is believed to have been wearing hospital slippers.
Her baby was wrapped only in blankets.
A friend has described her disappearance as "out of character". Writing on Avon and Somerset Police's Facebook page, Isaac Jack McCardle said: "I really hope they are both safe and are all reunited soon."
The baby's father, Pascal Malbrouck, has written on Facebook: "My daughter has gone missing with her mum Charlotte Bevan please if any one has got any info or has seen her please contact me."
At a press conference, he said "the last 3 days as a family have been amazing", and pleaded for Ms Bevan to come back home.
Ms Bevan is described as white, around 5ft 8in tall and of average build with dark wavy hair.
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman has appealed for anyone who sees them to call 999 immediately.
"We are concerned for both Charlotte's welfare and that of her baby, and are urging Charlotte to let us know that she and her baby are alright," the spokesman said.
"Officers have been searching the city centre throughout the night and appeals have been put out to bus drivers and taxi drivers and those travelling into work on early shifts this morning to lookout for Charlotte and her daughter."
It is believed Ms Bevan was wearing a long black top and black trousers when she disappeared from the hospital on Southwell Street.
The spokesman added Ms Bevan "may appear confused and worried".
"Her baby is inappropriately wrapped for the cold weather in blue and white striped and coloured blankets," he said.
Police have confirmed they have received several reports of sightings of Ms Bevan, including around the hospital, where an area has been cordoned off.
A University Hospitals Bristol spokeswoman said hospital staff had no reason to believe Ms Bevan was going to leave the hospital.
"Charlotte Bevan was due to be discharged from St Michael's Hospital tomorrow (Thursday, 4 December), but elected to leave yesterday for reasons unknown to us," she said.
"Charlotte was recovering from the birth of her baby, and there were no indications that she was planning to self-discharge.
"Charlotte and her baby were seen by staff at 8.30pm; when staff went to check on her at 9.05pm they found Charlotte and her baby missing and immediately sounded the alarm.
"We are working closely with other agencies to establish that Charlotte and her baby are safe."
