A man who stabbed four young girls at an AMC theater in Massachusetts on Saturday is reportedly a murder suspect.
Jared Ravizza, 26, of Martha’s Vineyard, is charged with assault with intent to murder and assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with the weekend stabbings and is also accused of stabbing a McDonald’s employee in Plymouth shortly after the Braintree stabbing, severely injuring a 21-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man.
Ravizza has reportedly had a history of erratic behavior, and in April, his father called police after he allegedly assaulted him, The Boston Globe reported.
“[Ravizza] “He had a breakdown and attacked her,” the police report states. He was later reportedly charged with criminal damage to property and assault and battery on a family member or cohabitant.

The Boston Globe reported that investigators are looking into whether Ravizza was involved in a murder that took place in Deep River, Connecticut.
