A 17-year old boy with autism who apparently walked on railroad tracks from Yarmouth to Portland was found Saturday afternoon by Portland police.
Riley Paul was located at East End beach, following a search by police officers and game wardens. He was reported missing early Saturday morning from his Yarmouth home.
After receiving reports of a boy walking on the tracks, the Maine Warden Service called Portland Police and asked them to look in the area, according to Sgt. John Nueslein. Two Portland bicycle officers spotted Paul and notified his parents.
The family met police at Maine Medical Center, where Paul was taken to be checked.
