Knife attacks are often committed by teenagers. A "Krone" test in Vienna shows that even 13-year-olds can easily buy stabbing weapons.

Stabbing in the Prater after a European Championship public viewing event, attempted murder with a knife on Reumannplatz, knife attack on an 18-year-old in Favoriten - the headlines about knife violence have not stopped for months. Even the weapons ban zone around Reumannplatz, which has been in force since March 30, has not put an end to the violence.
