The attacker’s Instagram has been “scrubbed”
Jared Ravizzia, who went on a stabbing spree on Saturday night, appears to be transgender, according to reports on social media.
Wearing a long blonde wig and a flamboyant costume, Ravizzia, 26, of Martha’s Vineyard, attacked a group of little girls watching the movie “IF” at a Braintee, Massachusetts theater, before making his escape in a Porsche SUV. He drove to a rest stop 30 miles away and attacked two other people at a McDonald’s.
“Without saying anything and without any warning, he suddenly attacked and stabbed the four young females,” the Braintree Police Department said in a statement.
“The attack appeared to be unprovoked. After the attack, the man ran out of the theater and left in a vehicle.”
He was apprehended by law enforcement on Saturday evening and charged with assault with intent to murder and battery with a dangerous weapon.
It’s also believed Ravizzia may be linked to a murder in Deep River, Connecticut. Police found a body in the town at 3.30 pm on Saturday and issued an alert for a suspect, describing him as “armed and dangerous” and carrying a large knife.

Ravizzia’s strange attire, and the fact that he began his spree in a theater filled with little girls, attracted instant attention from users of social media.
One user noted that Jared’s Instagram account, which could provide vital evidence about his identity and motivations, had now been “scrubbed,” but provided a screenshot that apparently shows Ravizzia identified as a female, listing his preferred pronoun as “she.”
The user berated The New York Post for describing Ravizzia as a “madman.”
“This is not a “madman”, this is not someone that saw themselves as a cishet male—this is a transgender woman that attacked multiple girls STOP COVERING FOR MEN LIKE THIS.”
One of the mothers of the girls attacked in the theatre told reporters that Ravizzia was “laughing during the stabbings.”
