Officers mentioned they were notified by a man who discovered a automobile in Hanau covered with reddish substance

Approximately fifty cars have been covered with what seems to be blood from a person in the Germany's city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, according to police.

Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they announced in a official communication.

Police say they were alerted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a man observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued fluid.

The liquid had been placed in the pattern of a banned symbol, they reported.

Police then discovered numerous other marked vehicles and house walls in the surrounding area.

These symbols are banned in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi symbols.

Law enforcement report preliminary tests show the fluid was likely human bodily fluid.

"There is still no clue as to its origin; authorities are not yet aware of any injuries in connection with the event," they commented.

Local authorities said they were attempting "to solve the incident" and have asked to the residents for details.

A senior political figure said the attack made him stunned and required to be addressed promptly.

"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and revives the pain of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on online, recalling the death of nine people by a shooter aiming at residents of foreign heritage in 2020.
