NSW Police in Sydney's inner-west are seeking public assistance to locate a man missing from Ashfield for almost two days.
 
Laurie Shaw, 61, was last seen at a nursing home on Frederick Street, Ashfield, about 7.30pm on Friday (26 March).
 
Police and Mr Shaw's family hold concerns for his wellbeing as he suffers from dementia and requires medication.
