NEW YORK – A New Jersey woman was stabbed in the face with a pen on a New York City subway train after she tried to stop a man from lighting a cigarette.

The assault occurred on a crowded No. 3 train near the Chambers Street station during Tuesday's morning rush.

Witnesses told the Daily News and the New York Post that an argument quickly escalated when Evelyn Seeger asked the man not to smoke. The witnesses say two riders were trying to restrain the man when he pulled out a pen and slashed Seeger's face.

Seeger, of Nutley, N.J., was treated at a hospital and released.

Police charged the man with felony assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

#######....I missed that part of the article. Maybe it's because he used the pen as a weapon...but that seems a bit of a stretch imo. I wonder if they make it stick ? The charge that is...not the pen.

It better not stick. Would hate having to go and get a conceal carry permit for my pen.
