Jared Ravizza, the suspect linked to stabbings this weekend at a Massachusetts movie theater and a McDonald’s, also will face criminal charges in Connecticut in connection to a killing in the town of Deep River, authorities said Tuesday. Ravizza was arraigned Tuesday in Plymouth District Court on four charges stemming from the McDonald’s attack Saturday evening, including armed assault with intent to murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and indecent exposure. The prosecution filed a motion for Ravizza, 26, to be held without bail, alleging the defendant was tied to another stabbing Saturday of four girls at a Braintree movie theater, as well as facing pending charges in Connecticut related to a homicide. By Tuesday afternoon, Ravizza had appeared in court a second time, where a doctor who evaluated the defendant’s mental health said Ravizza did not “demonstrate the rational capacity” to work with a defense attorney. The court subsequently ordered Ravizza sent to Bridgewater State Hospital and ordered a further evaluation. CNN has reached out to an attorney for Ravizza for comment. The victims at McDonald’s and the movie theater all suffered non-life-threatening injuries, authorities previously said.
