Police in the German capital have opened an investigation into hate incitement after the Star of David was found graffitied on the doors of several homes in Berlin thought to belong to Jewish people.

Four cases have been reported to Berlin police in recent days, with three incidents reported on Saturday alone. A 28-year-old anonymous Jewish resident told the Morgenpost that since the event she now fears for her safety in the German capital for the first time.

She said she was “incredibly shocked and frightened” when she returned home to find the threatening sight on her front door Thursday evening. She added that she was not sure who could have been responsible or if they had entered her apartment, which has a mezuzah on the door.

At least two images published on social media show the Star of David scrawled on the front of an apartment complex, and another on an individual apartment.
