Massachusetts stabbing suspect Jared Ravizza arrested after attacks at Braintree AMC and Plymouth McDonald's

A 26-year-old man will face charges including assault with intent to murder and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after police allege he stabbed two people at a local rest stop on Saturday.

Authorities identified the suspect Sunday afternoon as 26-year-old Jared Ravizza.

Ravizza was arrested Saturday evening, but is currently at a local hospital receiving medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.

Prosecutors said Sunday they believe the man is linked to the alleged killing of four young girls at a movie theater in a nearby town.

The prosecutor's office said Ravizza allegedly stabbed two employees at a McDonald's in Plymouth, Massachusetts, before being arrested in the town of Sandwich.

Around 7 p.m. ET, authorities received a 911 call about a stabbing at a McDonald's, located at the Route 3 rest area in Plymouth, and noted that the suspect had fled the scene, according to a news release press release from prosecutors.

When emergency responders arrived, they discovered two victims, a 21-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man, both suffering from knife lacerations, prosecutors said, adding that they were transferred to local hospitals.

Security footage showed a suspect, believed to be Ravizza, stabbing the male victim with a large knife through the drive-thru window before parking his car, entering the McDonald's and stabbing the female victim, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors said Ravizza allegedly fled the scene in his car after the attack.

Authorities arrested Ravizza around 7:15 p.m. in Sandwich.

An hour before the attack at the McDonald's, a stabbing occurred at a movie theater in Braintree, Massachusetts, that injured four young girls, according to Braintree police.

At 6 p.m. Saturday evening, a man entered a theater at AMC Braintree 10, authorities said.

Once inside the theater, the suspect stabbed four women aged 9 to 17, police said, adding that the attack appeared unprovoked and without warning. All four girls suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to Boston hospitals for treatment, police said.

The suspect allegedly left the scene in a black SUV, police said. Using video footage as part of their investigation, police were able to identify a license plate and alert other law enforcement.

It was after this alert that authorities discovered a car matching the description was involved in a “similar assault” at the McDonald's in Plymouth.

Although Ravizza has not been charged for stabbing four young girls at AMC, authorities believe the incidents are related.
