Vehicles in German City Discovered Smeared with Swastikas in Human Blood, Police Report

Incident location Affected vehicle Area Police
Officers stated they were alerted by a individual who noticed a vehicle in Hanau covered with red-colored substance

Around fifty automobiles have been marked with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, according to police.

Automobiles, walls and postboxes were marked, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.

Law enforcement say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish liquid.

The fluid had been placed in the pattern of a swastika, they added.

Officers then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

Swastikas are prohibited in Germany under laws prohibiting the public display of symbols from the Nazi era.

Officials report initial examinations suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to where it came from; authorities are currently not cognizant of any injuries in connection with the occurrence," they commented.

Municipal representatives stated they were trying "to solve the incident" and have requested to the residents for tips.

An important official said the attack rendered him speechless and needed to be solved rapidly.

"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the right-wing attack half a decade ago," he wrote on online, referring to the murder of nine victims by a gunman focusing on individuals of immigrant origin in February 2020.
