Obama-supporting male 'artist' with 'she' in bio goes on Boston stabbing spree, 4 girls hospitalized

On Saturday, a man was arrested for stabbing four young girls at an AMC movie theater in Braintree, Massachusetts, and later two other adults at a McDonald's in Plymouth. 

According to Boston 25, a source identified the suspect as Jared Ravizza, who police arrested after a police chase to Cape Cod. All the victims in both stabbings were transported to local hospitals to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. 

In a press release, Braintree police said the man arrived at the AMC around 6:00 PM, when he "proceeded past the ticket counter and entered one of the theaters without paying." It added, "Without saying anything and without any warning, he suddenly attacked and stabbed the four young females." 

Police noted that the attack appeared to be unprovoked, and the girl's ages ranged from 9 to 17 years of age. After the attack, police said he raced out of the theater in a black SUV. 

Officers were able to determine that Rivizza was no longer in the area, but video footage was able to capture his license plate number, and it was then broadcast to other law enforcement units. After a similar attack in Plymouth, Massachusetts State Police pursued the vehicle and took the driver into custody after it had crashed. 

Discussing the girls, one moviegoer Mateo Rojas told Boston 25, "They looked like they just saw a horror movie and not a kid’s movie." He added, "They said one of the girls had been ‘yelling help I’ve been stabbed’ and the kids came out looking really shocked.”

According to Ravizza's Instagram account, he is a supporter of President Obama and an artist with over 218,000 followers on the platform. According to a write-up in the MV Times in 2021, Rivizza was a long-time visitor to Martha's Vineyard who worked as a "mentor" to people with disabilities.
