A desperate search for a missing British tourist who was last seen running into snake-infested bushes has been ramped up. <\/p>\n

Aslan King, 25, was camping with friends at Princetown, near the Twelve Apostles in Victoria, when he suffered a medical episode about 2am on Saturday. <\/p>\n

The Brighton-based illustrator is believed to have had a seizure, bumped his head and panicked before running into dense bushland in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

Helicopters and police on horseback joined the intense search on Monday morning, helping ground crews scour through dense, snake-infested scrub in the hope of finding him.<\/p>\n

The Brighton-based illustrator (left and right) is believed to have suffered a seizure, bumped his head and panicked before running into dense bushland in the middle of the night<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Clifftops and waterways have also been searched but there has been no trace of him. <\/p>\n

His friends hold grave concerns for his wellbeing and say his disappearance is out of character.<\/p>\n

Mr King had been drinking alcohol when his face suddenly went blank, the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

He then fell off his chair and attempted to hide beneath it. At first the group thought he was joking but he then fled into the bush.<\/p>\n

Acting Senior Sergeant Travis Barber earlier said the search was ‘slow going’ due to the overgrown terrain. <\/p>\n

The area is also home to ‘a lot of tiger snakes’, which are highly venomous and known to be aggressive. <\/p>\n

‘As time creeps on, our concern levels do rise a little bit,’ he said.<\/p>\n

Aslan King (second from right, with his friends), 25, was camping with friends at Princetown, near the Twelve Apostles in Victoria, when he suffered a medical episode about 2am on Saturday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘The terrain varies significantly, including very dense thick scrub at chest high and the only way to go through it is to crawl through it.’<\/p>\n

Mr King and his friends only arrived in Australia two weeks ago. <\/p>\n

They had recently left Melbourne and were travelling toward Great Ocean Road.<\/p>\n

Friends and authorities believe the head knock, and suspected seizure, may have contributed to Mr King’s disorientation.<\/p>\n

They said he is unfamiliar with the area and could have become lost in the dense bushland.  <\/p>\n

Police have released an image of him taken yesterday in the hope someone may recognise him.<\/p>\n

Mr King is of medium build with short hair and was wearing trackpants, a light grey T-shirt and hoodie with green Reebok sneakers.<\/p>\n

He may possibly have blood on his forehead.  <\/p>\n

Chilling footage on the British national’s Instagram shows him driving along the Great Ocean Rd before reaching the Twelve Apostles on Friday.<\/p>\n

He can be heard calling out in excitement as he films the sprawling landscape from the passenger seat. <\/p>\n

In a later clip, Mr King points to a Parks Victoria sign which warns of unstable cliffs and snakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
