Vermont State Police said they are investigating an incident after a report that a black man was told to leave the state last week while driving near his residence in Hartford.
The man was driving in his car, which has New York license plates, with his 11-year-old son when he was flagged down by two unknown vehicles, police said in a release Wednesday.
Police said the man stopped, “thinking someone needed assistance,” and spoke with a white man who told him he was “not wanted in Vermont and told to leave,” police said.
“There were significant racial undertones to the interaction,” police said, adding that the man was “in fear for the physical safety of him and his son.”
