A masked man sparked a panic by pulling a BB pistol during Friday prayers at a Queens mosque, police said.

Sheikh Haque was tackled by a congregant inside the Muslim Center of New York on Geranium Ave. near Kissena Blvd. in Flushing after pulling the pistol in front of dozens of worshippers at about 1:30 p.m.

Haque, 33, was held on the ground by congregants until cops arrived and recovered the pistol, which turned out to be a BB gun, officials said.

“During Friday prayers at the Muslim Center of New York in Flushing, a masked individual pulled what appeared to be a deadly weapon, which turned out to be a BB gun,” Congresswoman Grace Meng said late Friday. “I’m grateful for the law enforcement individual on the scene and the brave bystanders that took action to disarm this person, who also held him down until police arrived.”

Police charged Haque with weapons possession and menacing. His arraignment in Queens Criminal Court was pending on Saturday.

He has not been charged with a hate crime, police confirmed.

Haque lives in Buffalo, New York, officials said. It is not immediately clear what he was doing in Flushing and why he disturbed the service.

Although he hasn’t been charged with a hate crime, local elected officials called the incident a case of Islamophobia.

“A masked individual reached into his pocket to pull out what appeared to be a deadly weapon during Friday Prayers at the Muslim Center,” state Attorney General Tish James wrote on X. “This is horrific under any circumstances, especially when a community is joining in prayer. We must stand united against Islamophobia.”

Sen. Charles Schumer said he was “disturbed to learn that there was yet another potential act of violence in a house of worship—at the Muslim Center in Queens.”

“I’m relieved he was subdued by a congregant before any harm occurred,” he wrote. “Islamophobia is unacceptable, and we must continue to reject hatred and bigotry in every form.”

Confirmed hate crimes against Muslims in the city for the first half of the year have jumped by 50%, from 14 to 21, according to NYPD statistics.
