GREENWICH VILLAGE — A homeless man slashed another man in the arm in a West 14th Street station during an apparent feud over K2 synthetic marijuana Friday morning, police sources said.

The 33-year-old victim was arguing with the 23-year-old suspect, who suddenly pulled a blade and sliced him about 8 a.m. on the mezzanine of the station at Sixth Avenue, police said.

The victim was treated at Bellevue Hospital for injuries that aren't expected to be life-threatening, police said.

The suspect, who is a resident at the Bellevue Men's Shelter, was taken into custody at the scene, but was still awaiting formal charges, the NYPD said.
