I think you are probably right SouthAussie, he stripped off rather than changed clothing. To lycra shorts and running vest or football shirt, something like that.The shirt is too big for him. Look at how long the sleeves are. Gathered up the arm with the cuff still being all the way down over his hands. Could be that "changing clothes" just involved taking that shirt off and revealing whatever he was wearing underneath.
Probably why he buttoned it all the way up to the neck, so the CCTV would not reveal the neckline of whatever he was wearing underneath the shirt.
Could be the same with shorts. Knee length cargo shorts taken off to reveal shorter runners/lycra shorts underneath.
Maybe take off the cap and glasses, too. That way he could change his look very quickly.

'Sick freak': Police hunt man after hot coffee poured on baby
The Brisbane parents are still traumatised by the alleged attack after the child suffered burns to his face and chest and had to undergo surgery.www.1news.co.nz
Why in the hell would anyone do this to a baby??
This has been the biggest question mark for me. For at least the past five years, every time I’ve used a ride share service the driver and I have both confirmed the other’s display name from the app before I actually enter the car.
If they know enough to say it was specifically a ride share and not an ordinary taxi, they HAVE to have more information than just the (incredibly clear) surveillance footage screenshots, don’t they?
You have to have an IP address for your wifi account, an online way to pay the ride share and a home address, I believe.You could probably make up a name. But they do require payment and I'm not sure how you could pay for a rideshare without that being trackable. Do they take prepaid cards, maybe? Or cryptocurrency? I've never heard of a rideshare that takes cryptocurrency but that would also be hard to trace.
And don't they have the clothing he left behind? Wouldn't they get touch DNA from those?I'm surprised this person has been able to evade police for 1 week.
I wonder if he knew the rideshare driver??
I'd say that they must know WHO this person is IMO.And don't they have the clothing he left behind? Wouldn't they get touch DNA from those?
If someone did go through that trouble, I assume they were probably up to other nefarious activities as well. Or at least, considering nefarious activities in their immediate future.You have to have an IP address for your wifi account, an online way to pay the ride share and a home address, I believe.
It would be possible, I guess, to somehow fake ALL of the above---but why? Just to pour scalding coffee on a random child in a park? I don't get it. All of the effort to do the above for what?
Do you think he may have done this act to distract from something else? I can't get that idea out of my head now.If someone did go through that trouble, I assume they were probably up to other nefarious activities as well. Or at least, considering nefarious activities in their immediate future.

Ugh, good point.I think it was a random attack.
Something must have triggered this person.
Maybe the perp came to the park to contemplate something, to think over some problems.
He took a thermos of his favourite coffee, planning to stay longer.
Because, if premeditated,
why was coffee used in the attack?
Why not hot water?
Or, God forbid, some toxic substance?

Don't take it as medical advice, please, I am not a doctor, and there are cases when it would not be a good thing - if the fabric has melted to the skin, for example. It sounds like in this case they dumped a lot of cold water on the child and then rushed him to a nearby resident's shower until the paramedics arrived.That’s a good thing to know, to remove the clothing in that situation.
