"Crown" at the focal point

During the day, it is relatively quiet on Favoriten's largest square. But towards evening it becomes increasingly dangerous.

The knife attacks around Favoritner Reumannplatz are increasingly unsettling for residents and business people. The "Krone" asked around. 

The sun is shining on Reumannplatz on Thursday. There is the usual queue of people in front of the well-known Tichy ice cream parlor, mothers strolling with their baby carriages. At this time of day, passers-by, residents and business people still feel safe, but the situation changes when the sun goes down. Brutal groups of youths and dealers populate the square. Within five days, there have been three stabbings here.
