Automobiles in German City Discovered Marked with Swastikas in Blood, Police Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police reported they were contacted by a man who noticed a automobile in Hanau marked with reddish liquid

Approximately 50 cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.

Vehicles, building surfaces and mailboxes were vandalized, sometimes with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.

Police report they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual noticed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.

The substance had been drawn in the form of a swastika, they reported.

Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared cars and house walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.

Police say preliminary tests indicate the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no lead as to where it came from; investigators are not yet cognizant of any harm in connection with the occurrence," they added.

City officials stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have appealed to the community for tips.

A senior political figure said the attack left him speechless and required to be solved quickly.

"This event strikes at the center of Hanau and reawakens the pain of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he posted on social media, recalling the killing of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
