Woman Faces Charges After Allegedly Threatening Children With Knife In Ambridge

A woman is facing charges after authorities say she threatened at least five children who were playing in their Ambridge neighborhood with a knife. Surveillance cameras at a home on Henrici Street in Ambridge captured the incident earlier this week. Police say Vera Smith can be seen holding a knife in her right hand, waving it around and yelling at the children, who were as young as 8 years old. Ambridge police say that they took the knife into evidence and said Smith admitted to everything, telling officers that she simply lost her cool. Smith is charged with making terroristic threats and simple assault.
