A man is suspected of fleeing to China after allegedly pouring a hot coffee over a baby in a pushchair.

The nine-month-old boy named Luka was with his mum and her friend at Hanlon Park in Brisbane in August last year when the man approached them.

He tipped the scalding coffee over Luka, leaving him with severe burns to his chest, neck and face.

Luka has since undergone eight surgeries.
