(CBS/WCBS) NEW YORK - Police say a woman was stabbed in the head with a pen by a homeless man during the Tuesday morning rush at a New York subway station, after she reportedly tried to stop him from smoking marijuana.

According to CBS affiliate WCBS, the woman confronted the man about smoking on the train as it pulled into the station in Tribeca. The New York Post reported that the man was smoking a joint.
