In a disturbing turn of events, a man was arrested for allegedly stabbing four girls at an AMC movie theater located south of Boston. The incident took place on a Saturday evening, when the perpetrator entered the Braintree multiplex without a ticket around 6 PM. The man proceeded to target the girls, who were between the ages of 9 and 17, in an unprovoked attack. As a result, the girls were hospitalized with injuries that were fortunately non-life-threatening.
Eyewitnesses at the theater recounted the harrowing experience of seeing the girls being attacked. One witness, Matteo Rojas, expressed his shock and sorrow at witnessing the aftermath of the incident. He described the girls as visibly distraught and likened their expressions to that of individuals who had just witnessed a horror movie rather than a child-friendly film. Furthermore, an AMC employee who was on duty during the attack provided a description of the suspect, noting that he was wearing a disguise consisting of an oversized trench coat, sunglasses, and a long blonde wig.
The troubling incident at the movie theater may not have been an isolated event, as reports suggest that the same suspect may have been involved in a similar attack at a McDonald’s restaurant in a nearby town. A 21-year-old woman and a 29-year-old man were allegedly stabbed at the restaurant, sustaining non-life-threatening injuries and requiring medical attention. Authorities have indicated that there appears to be a link between the two sets of attacks, leading them to suspect that the crimes are related.
Law enforcement agencies swiftly sprang into action in response to the violent attacks. Following a car chase involving the suspect, police were able to track him down in the town of Sandwich, located south of Plymouth. The suspect was apprehended and is currently receiving medical treatment at a local hospital. While the name of the perpetrator and the specific charges against him have not been disclosed at this time, authorities are continuing to investigate the incidents and gather further information.
