Suspect in stabbing rampage found dangerous, held without bail by court
26-year-old Jared Ravizza is accused of stabbing four girls at a movie theater in Braintree and two McDonald's employees in Plymouth. He is also connected to a murder in Connecticut.
The man accused of stabbing four girls at a Braintree movie theater and two McDonald’s employees in Plymouth in May will remain in custody following a dangerousness hearing.
26-year-old Jared Ravizza, of Chilmark on Martha’s Vineyard, is charged with armed assault to murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and one count of indecent exposure connected to the incident in Plymouth.
Last week, Ravizza was re-committed to Bridgewater State Hospital for further evaluations to determine his ability to stand trial and be found criminally responsible for the alleged stabbing of the McDonald’s employees.

In a statement Monday, the Plymouth County District Attorney said Ravizza was found to be dangerous and was held without bail.
The two alleged victims in Plymouth were a 21-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man who were transported to local hospitals with non-life threatening injuries. The DA said that surveillance video appears to show Ravizza reaching through the drive-thru window to stab the man before entering the establishment to stab the woman.
Officials said this took place just hours after he allegedly stabbed four girls, ages 9 to 17, at an AMC movie theater in Braintree on May 25. Ravizza was arraigned separately on four counts of assault to murder and four counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon related to the Braintree attack.

Ravizza is also connected to a Connecticut homicide that happened the same day. Bruce Feldman, 70, was found dead the afternoon of May 25. According to court documents, Ravizza and his car are linked to the homicide.
Ravizza was taken into custody after crashing his car in Sandwich shortly after the attacks. His next court appearance related to the McDonald’s stabbings will be in August.
