PHILADELPHIA - Authorities say a woman is in custody after she "slashed" a man with a knife during an argument aboard a Market-Frankford line SEPTA train on Friday.

The train was stopped at 46th Street Station where SEPTA and Philadelphia police officers placed the woman in custody.
The victim received medical treatment and later positively identified the woman as the suspected stabber, FOX 29's Steve Keeley reports.
