Ms Jetta is described as female, with olive skin, 170cm tall, fat build, shaved head and was last seen wearing green-coloured shorts with white stripes, pink-coloured singlet and blue trainers.

The 21-year-old was also recently been observed wearing a fluorescent pink wig.

The terrifying incident comes weeks after another shocking attack on an innocent baby.

In August, nine-month-old Luka was injured by a stranger while having a picnic with his mother in a Brisbane park.

A man is alleged to have approached the baby boy and poured a Thermos of hot coffee on him, burning the youngster’s face and chest.

The 33-year-old was identified by Chinese media after he allegedly fleeing the country a day before he was identified by Queensland Police.

A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

Luka was left with serious burns on up to 60 per cent of his body and has since undergone four surgeries, with the potential he may also need a skin graft.
