ASHLAND — For a second day this week, several police officers and firefighters were at Ashland State Park searching for a missing man.
Police Chief Vincent Alfano said Friday that the man is from another community and has been missing for about five days. He said evidence leads authorities to believe the man is somewhere in the park.
“There is nothing the general public should be worried about,” said Alfano. “There’s no danger and there is no foul play suspected.”
On Friday, police closed Spring Street between South Street and Olive Street due to the search.
Friday’s effort has been mostly a water search, Alfano said. Several boats and dive teams from the Massachusetts State Police and Massachusetts Environmental Police, as well as the Ashland Fire Department and other agencies are taking part, he said.
