Brisbane detectives have released an image of a man suspected of involvement in pouring hot coffee onto a nine-month-old baby during an “ambush” at a picnic.

The parents of the nine-month-old baby were enjoying an outing with friends at Hanlon Park in Brisbane’s Stones Corner on Aug. 27 when an unknown man approached them and poured a thermos of hot coffee onto the baby boy.
