A Chinese investigative team will travel to Australia to assist police searching for a man accused of pouring hot coffee on a baby before fleeing the country. China’s Ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, confirmed on Wednesday that investigators would visit Queensland to work alongside local authorities probing the alleged attack. The 33-year-old man is accused of throwing a thermos of hot coffee over nine-month-old Luka at a Brisbane park on August 27, 2024, before leaving Australia and returning to China. Speaking in Canberra, Mr Xiao said a “working group” would travel to Brisbane to assist with the investigation into the alleged assault. “I’m not sure if I should announce this at this moment, but there’s going to be a working group from China coming to Brisbane,” Mr Xiao said.
