Stabbings, fights, alcoholics - the forecourt of the transport hub is increasingly becoming a crime hotspot.

It was only in July that a bloody gang fight took place near Meidling station. Four people were seriously injured after a knife attack, and a helicopter was even deployed. But it is not only acts of violence that make passengers and residents feel unsafe.
