The Plymouth County prosecutor said Sunday that Ravizza faces charges of assault with intent to murder and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after allegedly attacking two employees of a McDonald's in Plymouth an hour after leaving the AMC in Braintree.

The prosecutor's office says surveillance video shows Ravizza driving through the McDonald's drive-thru window at the Route 3 rest stop, stabbing a 28-year-old employee with a large knife. Authorities say Ravizza then parked his black Porsche, entered the McDonald's and stabbed a second employee, a 21-year-old woman. Both victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to nearby hospitals.

Ravizza then fled the scene, ultimately totaling the Porsche in a fiery crash on Cotuit Road in Sandwich, where he was taken into custody.

Ravizza is currently being held at South Shore Hospital while he is treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Sources also tell Boston 25 that Ravizza is also linked to a death investigation in Deep River, Connecticut, which began earlier Saturday afternoon.
