Police say foreign national who allegedly attacked baby with hot coffee has fled the country

A foreign national alleged to have poured boiling coffee on a baby boy in a Brisbane park last month fled the country as little as 12 hours before investigators could confirm his identity, police say. 

The nine-month-old was seriously burned in the attack at Stones Corner on August 27 as he sat with his mum on a picnic rug, with another mother and her baby, and has undergone multiple surgeries.
