The police in Hanau, Germany arrested a 31-year-old Romanian suspected of drawing swastikas with blood on cars and buildings.

The police in Germany announced the arrest of a 31-year-old man, a Romanian citizen, suspected of vandalizing nearly 50 cars, mailboxes, and buildings in Hanau, drawing swastikas with his own blood. The incident was reported on Wednesday evening, and a test confirmed that the substance used was human blood. Displaying Nazi symbols is illegal in Germany.

The man was caught at his home, being under the influence of alcohol, and his motives appear to be related to personal issues. He has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. The mayor of the city, Claus Kaminsky, expressed dismay at this act, highlighting the traumatic impact of Nazi symbols in Hanau, a city marked by a racist attack in 2020. Kaminsky stated that such symbols will not be tolerated.
