A baby boy who endured multiple surgeries after being scalded by hot coffee in a  daytime attack at a Brisbane park has finally been released from hospital.

Nine-month-old Luka was with his mother and a friend at Hanlon Park, in Coorparoo, on August 27 when he was allegedly attacked by a man who poured a thermos of coffee over him.

After more than a week in hospital and multiple rounds of critical surgeries, the boy’s mother revealed on Wednesday afternoon the toddler was finally home.

Nine-month-old Luka was with his mother and a friend at Hanlon Park on August 27 when he was allegedly attacked by a man who poured a thermos of coffee over him

In a social media post, the mother said they had ‘been home for a few hours and he’s already knocked his head’.

‘It’s gonna be a great few months. Back to hospital on Friday and then Monday to start the grafting process,’ she said.

A photo included in the post showed Luka smiling widely while in his mother’s arms, with bandages on his arm and chin.

Baby Luka’s third surgery was undertaken on Monday, with earlier procedures revealing he would likely suffer scars under his neck and chest due to the serious burns.

Luka suffered severe burns following the attack last week

The man behind the attack fled the park and despite more than a week of searching by police and appeals to the public, is yet to be located by officers.

After fleeing the park, he went to a church in nearby Tarragindi, where he changed his clothes outside.

He then caught a rideshare car to Brisbane’s CBD and travelled to Caxton Street.

Last week, police released images of a man they want to speak to. He is described as being between 30 to 40-years-old.

Detectives released images of a man who may be able to assist in their investigation
