An eagle-eyed good Samaritan noticed the boy sleeping and called 911.
Cops were able to unlock the car through the window and rescue the kid, the Suffolk County Police Department said.
Andre returned to the car as EMTs were checking on his son.
He was arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
The boy was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital for treatment and was listed in stable condition, police said.
He will soon be released to a family member, according to cops.
Andre is set to be arraigned at First Central District Court in Central Islip on Wednesday.
