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.

      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?

          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.
