A bottle was thrown at a man walking in Livermore Falls.
LIVERMORE FALLS – Police are investigating possible hate crimes.
A bottle believed to have contained urine was thrown out of a white-colored vehicle driving up Depot Street at a black male walking up the street on April 18, said police Chief Ernest Steward Jr.
Steward said a racial slur was also shouted from the vehicle, which had several people in it.
A little while later, a white female on Depot Street called to report people in a vehicle going by shouted a racial death threat, Steward said.
This past weekend, police received a report of a black man brandishing a gun at people driving by in a vehicle.
Police looked for the man all night and couldn’t find him, Steward said.
Police did locate a man fitting the description the next day, Steward said, and he knew nothing about what was reported and he didn’t have a gun.
