South Korean tourist Hoyeon Jang was separated from her husband and son on Thursday (3) at Embankment station.

The pensioner had been visiting family in London and boarded the Northern line train to High Barnet.

But the doors shut before her family members had a chance to get on, leaving them on the platform.

They signalled to Hoyeon to exit at Charing Cross, but once they reached the station, and following an extensive search, the elderly woman was nowhere to be seen.

The family reported her missing at about 8pm.

Hoyeon is 4ft 11ins tall with short black hair . She was last seen wearing a yellow jacket and blue trainers.

She has no phone , access to money and does not speak English.

Police are increasingly concerned for Hoyeon's wellbeing and would urge anyone with information on her whereabouts to call police on 101 or @MetCC.
