Approximately 50 automobiles have been smeared with what appears to be human bodily fluid in the German city of Hanau close to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, walls and postboxes were vandalized, in some cases with swastikas, they reported in a official communication.
Police say they were contacted in the late hours on Wednesday evening, when a resident noticed that a vehicle in the Lamboy district of Hanau had been marked with a reddish-hued fluid.
The fluid had been placed in the shape of a Nazi symbol, they added.
Officers then located multiple other vandalized automobiles and building exteriors in the nearby vicinity.
Swastikas are illegal in Germany under laws prohibiting the public exhibition of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement report initial examinations show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.
"At present there remains no indication as to its source; investigators are presently not cognizant of any harm in association with the event," they commented.
Local authorities announced they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have requested to the community for details.
A high-ranking political figure said the attack rendered him stunned and required to be addressed rapidly.
"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the far-right attack in 2020," he stated on online, mentioning the murder of nine people by a gunman focusing on residents of migrant background in February 2020.
