Panhandler who wants weed stabs panhandler who wants beer, cops say

It was a classic battle of the stoner versus the alcoholic in Times Square on Saturday night when the "I Need Money for Weed" dude allegedly stabbed the "I Need Beer" dude in the head with a pen. It's unclear what the beer guy might have done to piss off the stoner (maybe stealing his Funyuns?), but as the Broadway shows were getting out around 10:15 p.m., the two panhandlers got into a fight, police said. Thankfully, the beer guy's injuries were minor, and charges are pending against the weed guy. Authorities said they questioned two bystanders, one wearing a Predator suit and one wearing an Alien suit, officially making the incident the most significant "only in New York" story of the evening.
