Police are searching the River Thames as part of efforts to find missing student Harvey Parker.

Mr Parker was last seen leaving Heaven nightclub, in central London, at about 02:15 GMT on Friday.

The 20-year-old, who has autism, has not answered calls to his phone since and his family have said he can be "vulnerable in certain situations".

The Met said a review of CCTV showed he may have entered the water near the Golden Jubilee Bridge.

Mr Parker, a University of York student who is from Lambeth, was seen leaving the nightclub near Charing Cross alone.

"We are keeping Harvey's family fully informed of any developments and the thoughts of my colleagues and I are with them at this distressing time."
