Police stated they were notified by a individual who noticed a car in Hanau smeared with reddish substance

Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, according to authorities.

Vehicles, building surfaces and postal boxes were marked, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a release.

Police state they were notified in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a individual discovered that a automobile in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been covered with a red-colored fluid.

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

Law enforcement then discovered multiple other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the nearby vicinity.

Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under laws banning the public exhibition of symbols from the Nazi era.

Law enforcement say early analysis suggest the fluid was likely blood from a person.

"At present there remains no clue as to its source; investigators are not yet aware of any harm in relation with the incident," they commented.

City officials stated they were attempting "to unravel the incident" and have asked to the community for details.

A senior representative said the attack left him stunned and needed to be solved promptly.

"This incident affects the core of Hanau and reopens the trauma of the extremist violent incident in 2020," he stated on social media, mentioning the murder of nine victims by a assailant focusing on individuals of foreign heritage in five years prior.
