The stabbing victim said he had approached a group to ask for a cigarette when the woman approached him, told him to get away from her things and stabbed him in the neck, then ran away.

The victim’s injury was not life-threatening, police said.

The attacker was described as a light-skinned woman “with a beard,” wearing a white shirt and jeans at the time of the incident.

The suspect was arrested Thursday.
