Police in Britain appealed today for the family of a nine-year-old boy to contact them after he was left at a bus stop in west London.

Gurrinder Singh, who only speaks Punjabi, wandered into a medical clinic in Southall in west London on Tuesday saying his uncle had not returned after leaving him at the bus stop, Scotland Yard said in a statement.

Speaking through an interpreter the nine-year-old told police he had been living in a three-bedroom house with his uncle - described as white and in his 30s - for two to three years.

"We're keen to reunite Gurrinder with his family," said chief inspector Keith Lunson. "We are appealing for anyone who may have seen Gurrinder on a bus with his uncle, and we would specifically encourage his uncle to come forward."
