Police working with interstate and international partners to try to find man who allegedly poured scalding liquid on nine-month-old boy
The infant underwent his third round of surgery on 3 September after the “cowardly” and random alleged attack in a Brisbane park.
Police have been searching for the man since he allegedly poured a vacuum flask of hot coffee on the boy at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner on 27 August. The baby suffered significant burns to his face, arms and legs.“Detectives are continuing to investigate the matter and are working with interstate and international partner agencies to progress the investigation,” a police spokesperson said.CCTV and enhanced images have been released but no arrests have been made.
The family said the little boy had been incredibly resilient despite the “traumatic and difficult” time. “He’s up and about, walking and causing chaos,” his mother said. “He is such a strong little boy and we are so, so proud of him.”“This horrific event should have never happened,” the mother said. “Hopefully one day justice will be served.”“It is callous and cowardly,” Det Insp Paul Dalton said.
The man was wearing glasses, a blue shirt, cargo shorts and a black hat. He is believed to be aged between 30 and 40.
