Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Stephen Crane, J.),

Substantial evidence supports respondent's determination revoking petitioner's pistol licenses, including reliable hearsay evidence which demonstrated that petitioner blocked a taxi with his car, approached the driver, displayed his gun and marshal's badge, uttered ethnic slurs and ripped the gear shift out (see, Sewell v.
