A man will appear in court later today after allegedly wreaking havoc across Massachusetts and stabbing six people, including four girls.
Jared Ravizza, 26, is accused of stabbing four girls, ages 9 to 17, at an AMC multiplex in Braintree, Massachusetts, on Saturday.
A 21-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man were stabbed about an hour later at a McDonald’s in Plymouth, about 30 miles from the theater.
On Tuesday, Ravizza was seen leaving the state police Bourne barracks ahead of his appearance today in Plymouth District Court and Quincy District Court.
He faces multiple charges, including assault with intent to murder, after Saturday night’s spree.
Ravizza, from Chilmark, a town on Martha’s Vineyard, was arrested in Sandwich, Massachusetts, on Saturday night after his alleged spree along the South Shore.

As he was being led to a waiting police cruiser, Ravizza was seen wearing a green jumpsuit and barefoot.
The suspect entered the AMC Braintree 10 south of Boston around 6 pm on Saturday without a movie ticket and attacked the girls without provocation.
The girls, between 9 and 17 years old, were inside the theater when the individual suddenly attacked them “without saying anything and without warning” before running away.
Lisa Dembowski said her three daughters and their friend were the only people inside the theater when she attacked them.
“My oldest daughter was bending down to pick something up, he put her behind him, and then my other daughter on his upper chest, and then my last daughter on his arm, laughing the whole time, and then he grabbed his friend, and then he ran out,” Dembowski told NBC Boston.
All four suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were taken to hospitals.
After fleeing the theater, Ravizza allegedly went to a Route 3 rest area in Plymouth, where he allegedly stabbed two McDonald’s employees around 7 p.m.
Surveillance video appears to show Ravizza allegedly reaching through the car window and stabbing the man, 29, with a large knife, according to the district attorney’s office.
He reportedly parked his black Porsche in the parking lot and ran inside, where he stabbed a 21-year-old woman before fleeing the scene.
The man was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess-Plymouth Hospital and the woman to South Shore Hospital. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
After reviewing surveillance footage, police released a description of the suspect’s car.

It has also since emerged that Ravizza may have carried out an attack in rural Connecticut before carrying out his attacks in Massachusetts on Saturday.
Connecticut State Police were called to a residence in Deep River, a small town in Middlesex County, shortly after 3:30 p.m. following reports of a disturbance.
When they arrived at the scene, officers found the body of a lifeless man.
Neighbors told Boston 25 that the victim, who has not yet been identified, and the suspect had been short-term renters at the Deep River property.
They allege the couple had been “living together for two and a half weeks,” had some dogs” and were heard arguing a few days earlier.
Ravizza was previously arrested in April and charged with assault and battery, as well as vandalism, after allegedly attacking his father Jason.
Jason, a psychologist, told officers that Ravizza “just had a mental breakdown and attacked him” inside his home.
