A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 9 for a Glassport woman who allegedly drunkenly waived a butcher knife at her teenage son and daughter and cut one of them.

The hearing for Tenika Taray Randolph, 40, of Delaware Avenue is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. before Magisterial District Judge Eugene F. Riazzi Jr.

McKeesport police officer Sheena Leszcynski and two other officers were dispatched to an apartment on the 600 block of Shaw Avenue around 10 a.m. Sunday for a domestic incident involving a mother and her 14-year-old son.

While Leszcynski was en route, she received a call that the mother, later identified as Randolph, stabbed her son, identified only as John Doe, with a knife and then fled the apartment on foot, the affidavit states.
