A 92-year-old man who was missing in Melbourne has been found, police have said.

Police and family became concerned for Alleyne's welfare after he did not show up to his regular dance lesson yesterday.

His son Damien said Alleyne had been doing the dance classes regularly for 15 years, but had taken some time off.

His family said the 92-year-old took heart medication.

"That's one of our main concerns, he's going to be disorientated ... he was in the dark driving ... it's kind of like a needle in a haystack, so it's just a waiting game," Damien said previously.

"We just hope anyone in the public can offer some assistance and help in either getting him home, or in touch with us - or contact police."

Victoria Police thanked the public for their assistance and said the 92-year-old had been found "safe and well".
