A 45-year-old mentally disabled man went missing Wednesday during a group visit to the Boston Public Library in Copley Square, Boston Police said.

Clinton Forbes, who is mute and has limited mental capacity, was reported missing at about 2:30 p.m. after wandering away from the group, said police, who described Forbes as a black man who is about 5'8" and weighs about 180 pounds.

Forbes wears a silver name bracelet from Lemuel Shattuck Hospital, where he is a resident. He was last seen wearing a blue zip-up jacket, a brown sweatsuit, and gray sneakers, police said.
