A vandal smashed the screens on more than two dozen LinkNYC kiosks in Manhattan, a spokesperson for the kiosks operators said.

The vandal damaged a total of 30 kiosks, the spokesperson said.

All of the damaged kiosks are located in Chelsea and the West Village, according to Gothamist.

The NYPD is aware of the vandalism and investigating, LinkNYCs spokesperson said.

“LinkNYC provides a valuable public service to many of the citys most vulnerable,” the spokesperson said in a statement. “When people vandalize Links, they impede on its ability to fund and deliver these services.”

The number people call the most using the kiosks tablet phone app is the EBT — Electronic Benefits Transfer — customer service line, according to the spokesperson.
