Two McKeesport women were allegedly sliced with a knife during an altercation this week.

Cynthia Mareene Wilson, 56, of Beaver Street, McKeesport, was charged with two counts each of aggravated assault and simple assault in the incident, which took place Tuesday afternoon in the 2600 block of Harrison Street.

Marie Moore and Cicely Bray told McKeesport police that Wilson attacked them with a silver paring knife and “sliced” each of them open with it.

Bray suffered a deep laceration on the top of her right hand and Moore had small cuts on her right ring finger and on the back of her left forearm, according to an affidavit of probable cause. They both refused medical attention.
