Read our Privacy noticeChina is sending a team to help the Australian authorities catch a man who allegedly doused a nine-month-old baby with scalding coffee in 2024. The attack occurred in a Brisbane park on 27 August 2024, and left the baby with burns to his face, neck, chest, and limbs. The man, who has been pictured from CCTV footage but not named, reportedly fled to China soon after the incident. China's ambassador to Australia, Xiao Qian, confirmed on Thursday that they had sent a “working group” to Brisbane to help with the investigation. “China has extraterritorial jurisdiction to prosecute its citizens for conduct which occurs outside China,” the Queensland Police and the Australian Federal Police said in a joint statement.
