A foreign national alleged to have poured boiling coffee on a baby boy in a Brisbane park fled the country as little as 12 hours before investigators could confirm his identity, Australian police say.<\/p>\n
Nine-month-old baby Luka was seriously burned in the attack at Stones Corner on 27 August as he sat with his mum on a picnic rug, with another mother and her baby. He has since undergone multiple surgeries.<\/p>\n
On Monday, police said the 33-year-old man accused of the crime was in New South Wales on 28 August, and flew out of Sydney airport on 31 August.<\/p>\n
Detective Inspector Paul Dalton said the man left the country on his own passport, a day before police confirmed his identity.<\/p>\n
A warrant has been obtained for acts intending to cause grievous bodily harm, which carries a possible life sentence.<\/p>\n
In the days after it happen.<\/p>\n
