Japanese nationals living in New Zealand have been advised by the New Zealand Japanese Society to be extra cautious around Queen Street due to the presence of drunk and possibly violent individuals.
Society President Masa Sekikawa said that the point of the advisory was not to get people to avoid Queen Street, but rather the measures they could take to keep themselves safe.
Measures included avoiding unnecessary visits to the CBD, keeping to well-let areas, and avoid being intoxicated in the area.
Auckland Mayor Len Brown did not support the advisory, and has recently convened a taskforce aimed at reducing instances of anti-social behaviour in the CBD.
