The man is accused of leaving the baby with severe burns requiring multiple surgeries.

Australian police are working with their international counterparts to locate a man they believe fled the country after pouring boiling coffee on a baby in Brisbane.

The random attack - which occurred last month and has shocked the nation - left the nine-month-old boy with “serious burns” to his face and limbs.

Queensland Police have issued an arrest warrant for a 33-year-old wanted over acts intending to cause grievous bodily harm, a charge which carries a possible life sentence.

    I don’t understand how people didn’t tackle this fuck after it happened let alone how anyone could do this.

        Recent research has called the bystander effect into serious question. In 90% of observed real world circumstances intervention by bystanders occurred.

          Except the bystander effect mentioned in the “original” Kitty case is not the same as a shocked “We’re here and what the fuck just happened in the last two seconds!?”.

          I’ve been an eye witness, and it’s a serious difference between “a few seconds of something horrible happening” and “wtf, someone is doing prolonged horrible deeds and murdering someone”.

          That only happens if someone steps up and takes charge. Otherwise monkeys will stare slack jawed.

            And the studies showed that 90% of the time someone steps up and takes charge.

                “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I’m all out of gum.”

                “The cake is a lie!”

                “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”

      In the commotion nobody’s brain would parse “that guy just threw coffee on a baby” because that’s not something you immediately consider

      Dude is crazy enough to throw coffee on a baby. You want to wrestle with him? You know if he’s carrying any weapons?

        Thowing coffee on a baby is like the weakest attack in the history of mankind. They are babies and literally cant fight back.

        This fucker would fold like a wish version lawnchair if you hit or tackled him.

          This fucker would fold like a wish version lawnchair if you hit or tackled him.

          You’d bet your life on that? I wouldn’t. Fucker probably has a knife on him. Doesn’t take much to ruin your life pretty quickly.

    It’s my local park. Normally kids everywhere. After this attack, mostly dog walkers, cyclists and runners. This MF certainly changed the local demographics, at least for the time being.

    The 70 pixels that form the face of the guy in the picture, that’s worthless info if the authorities already have a name. I say that because the image only tells me, well the guy is probably not European or Hispanic. He could be Filipino, Vietnamese, Indian, Chinese, Japanese. Could also be anyone with a good silicone mask. A frigging piece of paper with a good copy of someone’s face could have been used to make this exact image.
