It’s next-level evil to take unhinged anger out on an innocent baby, but that’s what allegedly happened in a horrifying scene after a migrant was denied a visa.
Nine-month-old Luka was with his mom in Hanlon Park (Australia) when a Chinese national allegedly threw scaling hot coffee on the baby.
The madman had reportedly been working in Australia on multiple visas, but lost his mind when he was finally denied.
“He vented his anger and [allegedly] hurt a baby before leaving Australia,” China’s New Tang Dynasty Television reported.

Baby Luka suffered severe burns on over 60 percent of his body, including his face and upper body, and had to endure multiple surgeries.
The 33-year-old perp was seen on CCTV footage fleeing the scene and was able to fly back to China, where alleged criminals are protected from extradition.
Still, Australian authorities are pressuring China to take action against the man one year after the horrific attack.
Queensland Police reportedly turned over evidence to Chinese officials, and public outcry kept the pressure on to punish the suspect.
Queensland Police Detective Inspector Paul Dalton said the suspect fled the country just 12 hours after he was identified.
“I was in the investigation centre when we put a name to the face and it was a very happy room, only for us to do a check in 15 minutes and find out we’ve lost him,” he said.
“We’ve got 30 detectives working for me. They’re devastated that they missed this person by 12 hours.”
The Chinese national would likely be facing a life sentence in Australia if he weren’t able to escape.
“This isn’t something we’ve parked in a corner; this was a very serious offence, and we’re working hard on it,” Acting Commissioner Shane Chelepy told radio station 4BC in June.
The attack “struck our investigators pretty hard,” he said.
“What I can say is we’re still working with our international partners to progress this matter and to get a resolution here,” Chelepy continued. “We’ve got a range of investigative strategies.”
Chelepy would not disclose whether or not Australian investigators were sent to China.
“I don’t want to compromise investigative strategies,” he said.
As for baby Luka, he still has a long road to go, but is recovering.
“Luka still has to have regular surgeries; he gets laser and skin needling to reduce the appearance of the scars,” his parents, whose identities have not been disclosed, told The Australian.
The little warrior may have some permanent scarring, but for the most part, his young skin has been able to recover remarkably well.
“He’s healed really well and is thriving in life”, his parents said.
