Nassau police are investigating an incident in Baldwin during the weekend as a possible hate crime, a spokesman for the department said Sunday.

William Lewis of Baldwin said a group of teenagers shouted "Trump will make America great again" and "go home" at his daughter as she drove her 2008 Toyota Prius Saturday on Jackson Street.

Lewis said his daughter, Adwoa Lewis, parked the car in front of their home. When Lewis prepared to go to work early Sunday, she found that a tire on the vehicle was flat . A note placed on the Prius said "go home."

Adwoa Lewis, 20, was born in the United States, her father said.

WIlliam Lewis said he is an immigrant from Grenada who has lived in the United States for 30 years and in Baldwin for 18 years. He blamed President Trump for fostering an increase in anti-immigrant rhetoric.

"I am disappointed. You hear about things like this but you don't believe it will happen to you," William Lewis said. "People feel emboldened to say things they would not normally say because of his behavior."

Det. Lt. Richard LeBrun of the Nassau County Police Department said the incident is under investigation.

"The Nassau County Police Department has zero tolerance for any individuals who create any kind of bias towards another," LeBrun said. "The detectives from the First Precinct Squad are investigating and this will be given top priority as all bias crimes are in Nassau County."
