Local Law Enforcement
Approximately fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.
Automobiles, walls and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a statement.
Officers report they were alerted late on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a car in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the form of a Nazi symbol, they stated.
Officers then located many other vandalized vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under laws outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Law enforcement say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to its source; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the occurrence," they commented.
Municipal representatives said they were attempting "to unravel the case" and have asked to the community for information.
A senior official stated the attack left him stunned and needed to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident half a decade ago," he posted on social media, referring to the death of nine victims by a shooter focusing on residents of foreign heritage in February 2020.
