Police are yet to identify a ‘Jason Bourne’ mystery man discovered in Dorset in September with no recollection of who he is or where he came from.
The man was found by police in Weymouth on Wednesday 28 September 2022 wearing a black motorcycle helmet with no visor, and with two pairs of black suit trousers.
Nearly four months later, police are still looking to identify the man described as five feet nine inches tall (175cm) and of a slim build.

The case somewhat resembles an aspect of the Jason Bourne film series, originally written by British novelist Robert Ludlum, about a highly trained Foreign Service Officer who finds himself washed up on the French coast with amnesia.

Police Constable Becky Barnes of Dorset Police, said: ‘We have been continuing to conduct enquiries to try and establish the identity of this man, which have included contact with Interpol and other partner agencies.
‘However, we have still been unable to confirm an identity for this man and he has not been able to tell us who he is or provide any information about where he is from or his family.’
Police Constable Richard Symonds, of Dorset Police, said: ‘Since he was found, the man has been in the safe care of the health service. Unfortunately, he has not been able to tell us who he is or provide any details about where he lives or his family.
‘Despite officers having carried out a number of enquiries, including checking missing person reports with other police forces, we are not any closer to establishing this information.
The Bourne Identity follows Foreign Service Officer Jason Bourne, who is washed up on a beach without recollection of his memory – drawing parallels with Dorset’s mystery man
Police have worked with Interpol and other agencies to establish the identity of the man
The man, who does not remember his identity, is now in the care of the local health service
‘I am hoping that by releasing a photo of the man, somebody might recognise him and can help us establish who he might be.’
The man was found with long, curly matted brown hair and a brown beard.
He speaks with an Eastern European accent and it is believed his first language is Latvian.
Anyone with information about the man’s identity is asked to contact Dorset Police or by calling 101, quoting occurrence number 55220158012.
