Vesterbro used to be an area that carried with it a rough reputation. Located a stone’s throw from Copenhagen Central Station, it would not be uncommon to encounter drug dealers, prostitutes and junkies all in one place.

The result is a no-holds-barred video that has attracted strong opinions on social media.
“Kill it with fire before it lays eggs!” Globe bartender John Conaty told the Copenhagen Post.
