BRAINTREE – A suspect has been arrested in connection with a stabbing that injured four girls at an AMC movie theater in South Boston on Saturday, authorities said. CBS Boston has learned that the same suspect may be responsible for a similar incident that may have occurred at a McDonald’s restaurant in Plymouth.
A man stabbed four girls in a theater at an AMC multiplex in Braintree around 6 p.m. local time, Braintree police reported. Braintree is located approximately 12 miles south of Boston.
Police said the man entered the multiplex without a ticket, entered a theater and then attacked the four girls, aged 9 to 17, without provocation. The girls were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
The suspect fled the scene in a black SUV, but police were able to obtain his license plate number using video footage and located him in Plymouth after he was allegedly involved in a “similar attack,” police said. CBS Boston has learned that the second possible attack may have taken place at a McDonald’s restaurant, but details were still unclear. Police said it appears “the crimes are linked.”
The suspect led Massachusetts State Police on a car chase before crashing in the town of Sandwich, located south of Plymouth. He was taken into custody.

Sources told CBS Boston that the suspect is also believed to be linked to a murder investigation in Deep River, Connecticut. Connecticut police had issued an alert about him earlier Saturday, describing him as armed and dangerous and possibly armed with a 10-inch knife, sources said.
The name of the suspect and the charges against him were not immediately released.
