A draft law for a general ban on weapons - in particular knives - in public spaces was presented on Wednesday. The carrying of all types of knives in urban areas, in built-up areas, in parks and sports facilities, in leisure parks, at events, on public transport, in educational and childcare facilities is to be banned, with a few exceptions. PULS 24 reporter Carla Márquez reports from Reumannplatz in Vienna's 10th district. After several knife attacks, a weapons ban came into force there at the end of March.
