Roughly fifty automobiles have been covered with what appears to be blood from a person in the Germany's town of Hanau in proximity to Frankfurt, police confirm police.
Automobiles, building surfaces and postal boxes were defaced, in some cases with prohibited symbols, they stated in a official communication.

The fluid had been applied in the shape of a swastika, they added.
Police then located numerous other marked automobiles and house walls in the adjacent neighborhood.
Nazi symbols are prohibited in Germany under legislation outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.
Police report initial examinations show the liquid was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no clue as to its source; authorities are presently not informed of any physical harm in relation with the incident," they stated.
Municipal representatives said they were working "to resolve the incident" and have requested to the community for details.
A senior representative stated the attack made him without words and required to be addressed quickly.
"This event hits the core of Hanau and revives the pain of the far-right violent incident five years ago," he wrote on a platform, mentioning the death of nine people by a gunman targeting people of foreign heritage in February 2020.
