Roughly fifty automobiles have been marked with what seems to be blood from a person in the German municipality of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by authorities.

Cars, exterior walls and postal boxes were vandalized, occasionally with Nazi symbols, they reported in a statement.

Law enforcement report they were contacted late on Wednesday evening, when a man discovered that a car in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been marked with a red-colored substance.

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

Law enforcement then located numerous other smeared automobiles and residential walls in the surrounding area.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany under regulations outlawing the visible presentation of Nazi-era symbols.

Police report early analysis suggest the liquid was most likely human bodily fluid.

"Currently there is no indication as to its origin; officials are presently not cognizant of any harm in relation with the occurrence," they commented.

Local authorities said they were working "to unravel the incident" and have requested to the public for tips.

A high-ranking official stated the incident made him speechless and needed to be addressed promptly.

"This event affects the very heart of Hanau and reawakens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on social media, referring to the death of nine individuals by a gunman focusing on residents of immigrant origin in five years prior.
