Long Island Rail Road commuters at the Lawrence station early Tuesday came face to face with crude social commentary presumably authored by one of their neighbors.
LIRR Police were summoned after words in blue marker were found scrawled on the side of an automated ticket machine on the platform.
The machines are equipped with cameras, raising the possibility that an image of the vandal was recorded.
This is at least the fourth such episode on the rail road this year, including two swastikas discovered in separate incidents — one on a platform, another carved inside a train.
