Anusha Jafri said in her report that the man, identified as Mao Fankin, arrived in Karachi early Saturday but was taken to Kati Pahari by a cab driver.

The local police was alerted about Fankin's presence and brought him to the Shahrah-e-Noor Jahan police station. Upon seeing his hotel booking information, Fankin was escorted to his hotel.

Fankin does not speak English or Urdu and reports so far have not indicated why he is in Pakistan. However, images in the media show him to be safe and happily posing with police officers too.
