(WXYZ) — A Warren man is facing several charges, including a hate crime charge, after allegedly pointing a gun and firing shots at a Black man walking down the street and calling him a racial slur.

Police say 53-year-old Anthony Mangiapane was standing on Schoenherr near 8 Mile when he pointed a gun at a 37-year-old Black man and shouted, "N***** you better get moving" and then fired three shots.

Police were called and Mangiapane barricaded himself in a business and later surrendered. Inside the business, police found a grenade and a cache of weapons that included pistols, shotguns, AR-15-style rifles with high-capacity magazines, Nazi memorabilia and what they say may be a German Luger pistol.

Mangiapane has been charged with ethnic intimidation, assault with a dangerous weapon, felony firearm and assaulting/resisting/obstructing a police officer.

Judge Michael Maceroni arraigned Mangiapane on Wednesday and gave him a $500,000 bond.
