A Hamilton man who was reported missing on Friday has been found, police say.

Authorities sent out a notice to the media Friday asking for the public's help locating 20-year-old Timothy Albert Cote.

Police said they were worried about him because of the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.

However, on Saturday morning, Hamilton police Staff Sergeant Robin Abbott said Cote had been found "safe and sound."

"We appreciate the public's assistance," she said.

Abbott would not provide any details on how Cote was located.
