HONOLULU (AP) — Authorities have found a 32-year old hiker who was missing for four days in the hills above Wahiawa.

Hawaii News Now reports (https://bit.ly/1UoTKOu ) that Honolulu Fire Department rescue crews say they found Justin Clark around 4 p.m. Saturday.

Officials say Clark began hiking Tuesday morning on the Schofield-Waikane Trail and his worried mother texted him after he missed a doctor’s appointment.

Clark replied that he was injured but still able to move. The last reported contact with him was a text message he sent at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday.

Rescue crews took Clark by helicopter to medics waiting at Iliahi Elementary school. Clark was able to escape with only a minor injury to his right ankle, small scratches and a case of dehydration.
