The police are currently working with international agencies in an effort to apprehend the individual responsible for throwing hot coffee on a nine-month-old boy at a park in Brisbane. The baby, who was scalded at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner, has thankfully returned home from the hospital, but the suspect is still at large. In light of this, the police have announced that they are now extending their search beyond the country's borders.
According to a police spokesperson, detectives are diligently investigating the matter and collaborating with partner agencies both within and outside the country to make progress in the case. They have also informed the media that an update will be provided on Monday regarding any developments. This incident occurred when the baby and his mother were enjoying a picnic at the park and were suddenly approached by a stranger. Luckily, an off-duty nurse heard the mother's screams and came to her aid, taking her to her home for a shower.
The police have stated that the suspect had poured a hot liquid on the child before fleeing the scene. They have released CCTV footage of the man wanted in connection with the attack, along with his movements after committing the heinous act. The footage shows him travelling to Tarragindi and changing his clothes outside a church before taking a rideshare car to central Brisbane and finally ending up on Caxton Street. The suspect is described as a man in his 30s or 40s, with a proportionate build and tanned skin. At the time of the attack, he was wearing a black hat, glasses, a shirt, and shorts.
Meanwhile, the nine-month-old boy is back at home with his family after undergoing three surgeries for burns on his face, arms, and legs. His mother, in an interview with 9News, shared that her son may require skin grafts and laser treatment in the future. She also expressed her trauma and fear, stating that she keeps having flashbacks of the horrific incident. As a mother, she feels responsible for protecting her child, but in this situation, she was unable to do so. She also expressed her disbelief and disgust that someone could harm an innocent baby in such a way.
The police have urged anyone with information about the suspect's whereabouts to come forward and contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. They are determined to bring justice for the baby and his family, and with the help of the public, they hope to locate and apprehend the culprit soon.
