Police from six Austrian states are being brought into the capital to reinforce night-time patrols and tackle youth crime in areas including Favoriten.

While crime rates among German children have dropped, migrant children are committing more crimes, including attacks on teachers and emergency workers.

A teenage gang in Vienna is accused of sexually and physically abusing, threatening and harrassing a 12-year-old girl.

A hundred masked rioters clashed with police after a 17-year-old with a migrant background ran a stolen scooter into a wall.

The seven youths are also charged with arson and harassment.

The 14-year-old was caught trying to enter the swimming pool premises without paying.
