Local Police
Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau close to Frankfurt, as reported by police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.
Officers report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a vehicle in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.
The fluid had been drawn in the shape of a swastika, they stated.
Law enforcement then found many other smeared cars and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under legislation outlawing the public display of Nazi-era symbols.
Police say early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any injuries in relation with the occurrence," they stated.
City officials stated they were working "to solve the mystery" and have appealed to the public for details.
A high-ranking political figure commented the attack made him stunned and had to be addressed promptly.
"This incident affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist violent incident five years ago," he posted on a platform, referring to the death of nine people by a assailant focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
