Not sure how anti-freeze could get sucked into the air intake, but here's a possible solution. It probably won't start because the spark plugs are wet with anti-freeze. Remove all the spark plugs to see if they are wet. If they are, dry them off with compressed air or a clean rag. Before you re-install the plugs, crank the engine for a few seconds to clear out the anti-freeze (hopefully). Be sure to re-gap the plugs and then re-install.
