A Queens man had to be strapped to a stretcher and taken to a hospital for evaluation after allegedly slamming his young son into a car so hard it dented the hood. Witnesses say the "emotionally distraught" man was carrying his 5- or 6-year-old son through Flushing, trying to hit passing cars. He allegedly yelled, "F- - -ing 9/11! I can't watch the Jets game! We're going down to Ground Zero to pay our respects," before slamming the boy on top of a car. The child has been released into his mother's custody, and wasn't badly injured. No word on whether the dad was able to catch the last of the awesome game.
