A global manhunt is underway for a man who allegedly poured boiling hot coffee on a nine-month-old baby in Brisbane.

Police say the 33-year-old has fled the country since the August 27th incident in a Stones Corner park.

Australia Correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge detectives believe the man escaped less than a day before he was identified.

She says the man was aware of police methodology and was conducting counter-surveillance activities, making the investigation very complex.
