(Picture: Metropolitan Police handout)A missing hospital worker was last seen travelling on a bus home after withdrawing money from a cashpoint, police said.
After finishing work at 7.45pm, it is believed she withdrew cash from an ATM before getting on a bus towards Elephant and Castle.
Petra, a nursing assistant at Evelina London Children’s Hospital, is then thought then to have changed to a new bus travelling towards her home address in Camberwell, where she was last sighted at 8.20pm.
She is thought to have been wearing a green coat and carrying a red backpack.
Harriet Harman, MP for Camberwell and Peckham, has called on the public to help search for Petra, and will help put up posters near her home on Saturday.
She will also hold a press conference in the area later on Saturday.
The Evelina hospital wrote on Twitter: "We are extremely concerned about our valued colleague Petra who is missing. We want to encourage anyone who may have any information that could help to find her to contact the police."
Police have contacted her family in her native Czech Republic and they have not heard from her.
Officers are growing increasingly concerned for Petra’s welfare and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Detective Superintendent Clair Kelland, from the Central South Command Unit which covers the Camberwell area, said: “We continue to grow increasingly worried about Petra and we are doing everything we can to try and find her.
“Her disappearance is out of character and, of course, her loved ones are extremely concerned and want to know where she is.
“Please think about if you’ve seen her, or maybe come into contact with her. If you have any information whatsoever, please get in touch and help us with our enquiries."
A man has been arrested in connection with her disappearance and taken into custody.
Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or tweet @MetCC referencing 21MIS037753.
