WABC Monday, November 9, 2026 11:54PM Share INWOOD, Long Island (WABC) -- An Inwood man is accused of shouting antisemitic threats and simulating a shooting inside a Five Towns wholesale store while a woman and her 7-year-old daughter shopped, Nassau County police said. According to Nassau County police, officers responded Sunday morning to a disturbance at Bingo Wholesale on Burnside Avenue in Inwood. Investigators say a 34-year-old woman and her 7-year-old daughter were approached by a man they did not know. Police identified the suspect as Hasani Ferguson, 36, of Inwood. Detectives allege Ferguson pointed his hands in the shape of a handgun, made shooting sounds and shouted antisemitic remarks, including "Heil Hitler" and threats against Jews and Israel. Investigators say Ferguson continued yelling antisemitic statements and making shooting gestures toward other shoppers as he left the business. Police located Ferguson later that night on Sheridan Avenue in Inwood and took him into custody without incident. He is charged with making a threat of mass harm, third-degree menacing and disorderly conduct. Police said he was scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Nassau County District Court in Hempstead. In a social media post, the Rockaway Nassau Shomrim Patrol described the incident as "hate-fueled" and said it worked with Nassau County detectives during the investigation. ---------- * More Long Island news * Send us a news tip * Download the abc7NY app for breaking news alerts * Download our connected TV app Submit a tip or story idea to Eyewitness News Have a breaking news tip or an idea for a story we should cover?
