Authorities mentioned they were contacted by a resident who discovered a automobile in Hanau marked with red-colored fluid

Around 50 automobiles have been covered with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's town of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Cars, exterior walls and postboxes were defaced, sometimes with Nazi symbols, they announced in a statement.

Law enforcement say they were notified during the night on Wednesday, when a individual discovered that a car in the Lamboy area of Hanau had been marked with a reddish fluid.

The fluid had been applied in the form of a swastika, they added.

Law enforcement then found numerous other vandalized automobiles and residential walls in the adjacent neighborhood.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under legislation prohibiting the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Officials report early analysis show the liquid was probably human bodily fluid.

"There is still no indication as to its source; officials are presently not cognizant of any injuries in association with the incident," they added.

City officials said they were trying "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the public for information.

An important political figure stated the vandalism left him speechless and needed to be resolved quickly.

"This incident affects the center of Hanau and reawakens the trauma of the right-wing attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, recalling the death of nine individuals by a gunman aiming at residents of immigrant origin in February 2020.
