MILFORD — More than three dozen police officers were out Monday night and continued this morning searching for a missing Hopkinton man on and near the Milford bike path, authorities said.
Daniel Cambrourelis-Haskins, 19, was last heard from at 6:11 p.m. Monday when he called his mother and said his bike had a flat tire and his cellphone was dying.
“He reached out to his mother, and he said he was making his way off the (bike) path,” Deputy Police Chief John Sanchioni said.
Cambrourelis-Haskins left his home Monday morning but was supposed to return by 5 p.m. His family grew concerned when his phone call was disconnected. The bike path runs from the Milford-Hopkinton line to the center of Milford, along Cedar Street (Route 85).
“This is very unusual for him,” said Sanchioni. “His parents are very concerned, and we share that concern.”

According to Milford police, Cambrourelis-Haskins has an eating disorder and has eaten little to no food in the past eight days. He also has some mental health issues and has made comments to family in the past about living in the woods.
Add in the weather — snowy and cold — and police called in as many officers as possible, Sanchioni said.
There were at least a dozen police dogs and their handlers taking part in the search, as well as four drones being used to search from the air. Officers from Milford and Hopkinton were joined by the Massachusetts State Police and search teams from the Central Massachusetts and Northeast Massachusetts Law Enforcement Councils, the deputy said.
The teams searched throughout the night and are back out today, searching the bike trail, as well as the areas around Louisa Lake and Milford Quarry.
Cambrourelis-Haskins is described as a white man, about 6 feet tall, thin with light facial hair. He was last seen wearing a puffy beige coat, khaki pants, boots and a green bicycle helmet.
