The baby was with his family enjoying a picnic at Hanlon Park in Coorparoo in Brisbane's south when an unknown man approached the group at about midday on Tuesday.

The stranger poured a hot liquid believed to be coffee onto the baby before fleeing the scene.

The infant was rushed to the Queensland Children's Hospital with burns to his chest and face.

When they catch up with him, I hope they pour scalding liquid on his face so he can see how it feels.

Had a different area in mind, the world does not need the likes of him reproducing, imo.

'The baby suffered serious, but non-life-threatening, burns to 60 per cent of his body.''
''Queensland Police have now released CCTV footage from the area, showing a man running from the park.'

He appears approximately 30 to 40 years old, with a proportionate build and tanned skin.
He was wearing a black hat, glasses, a shirt and shorts.

Anyone who recognises the man, or who has any information that can assist investigations, is urged to contact police.
Dalton urged the man to turn himself into police.''

He doesn't seem to have a coffee cup or container with him. Unless it's scrunched up in his left hand.

That's a good shot of his face.
Someone who knows him would recognise him from that pic.

Yes I think he does look Asian.

Police have released CCTV footage of a man wanted for questioning after boiling coffee was thrown on a baby boy at a park on Brisbane's south side.

He must have just bought the coffee for it to still be that hot.
Some coffee shop employee might recognise that they just served him.
He might be a regular there.

I have a feeling that they're going to get him today.

DM link upthread reported it was a THERMOS.

Not a cup.

Does he look Asian?
Definitely looks East Asian. I thought he did when I saw the original cctv footage.
Somebody must know him from that photo!

Thanks Dotta, yes the Daily Mail said it was a thermos.

He doesn't seem to be carrying it. So where is it ?
