Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police stated they were notified by a resident who found a car in Hanau marked with reddish liquid

Roughly 50 cars have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's municipality of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.

Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were marked, occasionally with prohibited symbols, they reported in a statement.

Police state they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been smeared with a red-colored substance.

The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they stated.

Officers then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

These symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation banning the public display of Nazi-era symbols.

Police report preliminary tests indicate the fluid was probably human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no lead as to its source; investigators are currently not informed of any physical harm in association with the occurrence," they commented.

Municipal representatives announced they were trying "to solve the incident" and have asked to the community for details.

A senior representative commented the attack made him speechless and required to be resolved promptly.

"This act strikes at the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the murder of nine victims by a assailant targeting individuals of migrant background in five years prior.
