According to CBS Boston, an AMC employee described the suspect as wearing “an oversized trench coat, sunglasses, and a long blonde wig.”
The suspect fled the scene in a vehicle before authorities arrived and allegedly continued the attack at a McDonald’s in Plymouth, the New York Post reported.
Massachusetts State Troopers found a 21-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man with apparent stab wounds at the restaurant near Rt. 3 Park and Ride at approximately 7:09 p.m. Both were treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
“A description of the suspect’s vehicle enabled Troopers to locate it operating on a public way in Sandwich. Troopers attempted a traffic stop, but the vehicle did not stop,” the MSP stated in a press release. The suspect crashed the vehicle and was apprehended by Sandwich and State Police shortly afterward.
Sources informed CBS that the suspect is also “believed to be connected to a murder investigation in Deep River, Connecticut,” the outlet reported.
Earlier on Saturday, Connecticut State Police had issued an alert describing him as dangerous and possibly armed with a 10-inch knife.
Boston 25 reported that the suspect’s name is Jared Ravizza, citing an anonymous law enforcement source.
A website belonging to a Jared Ravizza, who splits his time in Martha’s Vineyard, describes him as an artist and digital marketing entrepreneur. His Instagram account lists “she” as his personal pronoun.
