Authorities are searching for a man in his late 70s who has dementia and was reported missing.
Granville Waithe, a Brooklyn resident from Barbados who is about 78 years old, was scheduled to take an Amtrak train from New York City to Buffalo, where his son lives, on Tuesday, said city police Detective Sgt. Walt Horton.

Waithe apparently got off the train in Poughkeepsie and was found Tuesday on the Vassar College campus. He was brought to a homeless shelter, where he spent the night, and a person from the homeless shelter drove him back to the station Wednesday.
Amtrak called city police this morning to inform the agency that Waithe’s luggage had arrived in Buffalo, he said.
It’s unclear if Waithe got on the train in Poughkeepsie, or if he stepped off the train somewhere between Dutchess County and his destination.
Anyone with information is asked to call the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department at 845-451-4000.
