Baby Luka, who is nine months old, suffered serious burns to his face and body after the man poured a Thermos of hot liquid over him on August 27 while the child was at a Stones Corner park with his mother.

A team of almost 30 police have been on the job since the man was caught running from the scene on CCTV, but they’ve been unable to track him down in the 12 days since the attack.

“Detectives are continuing to investigate the matter and are working with interstate and international partner agencies to progress the investigation, a QPS spokeswoman said on Saturday.

“An update to media will be provided on Monday.”

Detectives have released additional images of a man who may be able to assist in the investigation into the serious assault of an infant at a park in Stones Corner on August 27.

Detective Inspector Paul Dalton, who is leading the case, said police believed the “callous and cowardly” attack was completely unprovoked but deliberate.

Luka was at Hanlon Park with his mum after finally recovering from a bout of fevers and hospital visits on the day of the incident.

They were catching up with a friend and her baby when the man approached them and poured the hot liquid over Luka.

Baby Luka had hot liquid thrown at him at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner.

The man then ran off, but was captured on nearby CCTV wearing a black cap and button-up shirt.

Luka spent more than a week in hospital and endured multiple rounds of surgeries.

Luka’s father said he suffered severe burns on his face and neck, as well as on his back.

“They did tell us from the last surgery … the side of his face and his head, his arms and legs and feet – those burns should be mostly superficial, so they’re going to heal no problems.

“But his chin, all down his neck, the bottom of his cheek and his chest and back, are deeper burns, so they’re more severe.”

Baby Luka had hot liquid thrown at him at Hanlon Park in Stones Corner.

Luka was released from hospital on Wednesday.

A Go Fund Me fundraiser for Luka and his family has raised more than $120,000 since the incident.

Anyone who recognises the man, or who has any information that can assist investigations, is urged to contact police.
