According to the South Hessian police headquarters, the state protection department has taken over the investigation due to suspected political motives and coordinated action. The specific nature of the spray paint used in both incidents remains unspecified.
In the first incident, a freshly placed election poster was torn down and stolen. A 48-year-old election helper suffered facial injuries from flying glass shards and/or the spray can.
