The maniac accused of stabbing six people at a Massachusetts movie theater and McDonald’s over the weekend is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning.
Jared Ravizza, 26, of Chilmark, is set to be arraigned inside the Plymouth District Court, where he faces two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with intent to murder, and other charges, local WCVB reports.
Ravizza was arrested after allegedly stabbing four girls, ages nine to 17, while watching the “IF” movie at an AMC in Braintree at around 6 p.m Saturday, according to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office.
The suspect then fled the area in a Porsche SUV, driving to Plymouth, where he went on to slash two employees at a McDonalds on Route 3, officials say.
Surveillance video of the second stabbing shows Ravizza pull out a large knife and stab one of the employees, a 28-year-old man, through the drive-thru window at the fast food restaurant, according to prosecutors.
Ravizza fled again and crashed his car while fleeing Massachusetts State Troopers in Sandwich, about 20 miles southeast of Plymouth.
Ravizza was taken into custody, with all the victims rushed to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, officials said.
The blond maniac, who neighbors have described as a “weirdo” obsessed with his looks, is also believed to be linked to a murder investigation in Deep River, Connecticut, officials said.
Connecticut State Police have yet to detail the allegations, but noted that a body was found inside a home in Deep River and that a suspect had been arrested in Massachusetts, according to WCVB.
Ravizza was previously arrested in Martha’s Vineyard last month after he allegedly suffered a mental breakdown and assaulted his father, The Boston Globe reports.
Ravizza was then sent to Martha’s Vineyard Hospital for a mental health evaluation, but allegedly “did not meet their standards to be held,″ the report stated.
Had he stayed out of trouble until November, the charges from the Martha’s Vineyard incident would have been dismissed since he was allowed to enter a pretrial diversion program, according to the Globe.
An attorney for Ravizza could not be immediately contacted for comment.
