US man ties son to car to pull out tooth

A father in the US employed a bizarre method to extract his eight-year-old son's wobbly tooth - tying him to the back of his car and driving off.

A video of the act which shows Robert Abercrombie in Florida revving up the car before hitting the accelerator as the string dangles from his son's mouth has gone viral on the internet.

Fortunately, the amateur dentistry produced results and the kid's head barely jerked as the tooth was whisked away. "It came out!" said the grinning boy in the video, Sky News reported.

Abercrombie, a professional wrestler who goes by the name Rob Venomous, said he has been surprised by the video's popularity. Abercrombie said his only worry was that he did not want to spin rocks on his kid's face.
