My Note8 S Pen works without touching the screen

Hi all, did anyone else come across this issue? My S Pen works if I just move it above the screen and without touching it. It becomes useless as if i touch the screen with the pen, it doesn't do what is expected but rather moves the screen wherever the pen is moved above the screen.
Any assistance on what the problem might be and how can it be solved?
Thanks
