A series of stabbings occurred in Massachusetts on May 26, 2024, leaving six people injured. The suspect in these incidents is identified as Jared Ravizza. According to reports from various sources, Ravizza first attacked two individuals at a McDonald's in Plymouth around 7 p.m., stabbing them through the drive-through window and inside the restaurant.
Approximately an hour later, Ravizza allegedly entered an AMC movie theater in Braintree without paying for a screening of 'IF.' There, he reportedly stabbed four girls between ages 9 and 17 without warning or provocation. The victims were at the theater with their families.
Ravizza was later arrested following a police chase and crash in Sandwich. He faces charges of assault with intent to murder and two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon in connection with the attack at McDonald's.
The suspect had previously been arrested on Martha's Vineyard for assaulting a family member and vandalism. Ravizza developed a reputation for bizarre and hostile interactions in public settings, often claiming to be a model from Los Angeles.
Authorities are also investigating whether Ravizza is connected to a fatal stabbing in Deep River, Connecticut. A body was found there after reports of a disturbance on the same day as the Massachusetts incidents.
The victims of the McDonald's attack were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. The girls injured at the movie theater were also treated for their wounds.
Ravizza is currently being held without bail and is due in court on a later date.
