My Lithuanian friends who were brought up in Kaunas and now live in VNO don't recommend that you walk the main street (the promenade) at night alone. A lot of times you might get jumped by drunken kids.

What's with the fearmongering?

I walked down that street many times alone at night, and didn't even get a weird stare.

is true that kaunas is a dangerous city?

No more dangerous than any other EE city.

That fear mongering is just a stereotype, and pretty old one, now its almost laughing stock, its like you stuck in year 1995.
Actually Kaunas is the safest city (can link to statistics) out of the 5 biggest Lithuania's cities.

You probably heard about "2nd city syndrome". Its somewhat popular (mostly from capital people) to talk down on Kaunas (so that they feel superior). Or another thing like NY (or even US) people talk down with jokes and stereotypes on NJ, hehe
So you may hear stereotype here and there, just take them with huge grain of salt and enjoy your stay
