Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Police reported they were notified by a resident who discovered a vehicle in Hanau smeared with red-colored liquid

Approximately 50 vehicles have been marked with what seems to be human blood in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to law enforcement.

Automobiles, building surfaces and postboxes were defaced, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.

Police say they were notified late on Wednesday night, when a individual noticed that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored substance.

The liquid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.

Officers then discovered numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under regulations banning the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Police report initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human blood.

"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; authorities are presently not aware of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they added.

Municipal representatives stated they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.

An important representative stated the incident made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.

"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the wounds of the far-right terrorist attack half a decade ago," he stated on a platform, mentioning the murder of nine people by a assailant aiming at residents of migrant background in February 2020.
