The blond maniac accused of stabbing six people and suspected of killing another is a “weirdo” obsessed with working out and his appearance, neighbors told The Post.

Jared Ravizza, 26 — who allegedly stabbed four girls while watching the movie “IF” at the theater and two other people at a McDonalds this weekend — adopted his signature, toned, tanned, flowing blonde locks during Covid, three of its former Agawam, Mass. neighbors told The Post Monday.

“Jared is a weirdo,” a neighbor said. Adding that Jared and his father, psychologist Jason Ravizza, are “different, that’s for sure.”

Jason is a mental health counselor with 35 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults for a range of issues including ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low self-esteem and autism, according to an online profile. .

The father-son duo “were very close” and “very fit” and took long walks and sunbathed together, the man said.

They both grew their hair and dyed it blonde and “eventually, you could no longer tell father and son apart from a distance,” the neighbor recalls.

The man recalled the two Ravizzas about two years ago, abruptly “upping up and leaving” Jared’s mother, Kim. The man said he hadn’t seen either of them since Jason mysteriously came home about a week ago, the man said.

And the neighbor said the son “was distant” and “was never friendly” and would just stare at him if he said hello.

A second neighbor told the Post that the father was a school counselor who pumped dumbbells while walking around the neighborhood wearing a weighted vest, adding that “Jared and Jason got really weird.”

“A drastic change has happened during COVID,” the second neighbor said. “I don’t know what happened inside the house.”

Ravizza’s son and father suddenly started looking “like they should live in California or Hawaii — not Massachusetts.”

And a third neighbor said he had also not seen the couple – who he described as “close” – for around two years, until Jason’s recent reappearance.

“Jared was always tanning,” the third man said. “He looked like a California surfer. It was a little orange. He was obviously using something to tan himself.

And the father was “talking” about Jared to the third neighbor “saying he was a YouTuber and dating a model,” the man said.

After seeing more recent photos of Jared, the third neighbor noted that he “looks more feminine now.”

Jared seemed to be undergoing an identity shift in recent months, describing himself as “she” on Instagram and adopting a more feminine look.

Court documents also reveal that he also officially changed his name, removing his father’s last name.

The son was also arrested in April by West Tilsbury police in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts — where he was living at the time — for allegedly attacking his father and ransacking his home, the Boston Globe reported, citing court records.

Jared was forced to undergo a mental health evaluation but was ultimately released from a local hospital, the outlet reported.

At the time of the alleged attack, Jason told cops his son “just had a mental breakdown and attacked him,” according to the report. The case was referred to diversion and a hearing is scheduled for Jared in November.

Jared faces charges of assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, among others, according to the Plymouth County Prosecutor’s Office.

Connecticut State Police also said he was a suspect in a murder investigation at a home in Deep River, Wash., after officers found a body there Saturday afternoon.

Cops issued an alert warning the suspect was “armed and dangerous” and carrying a 10-inch knife, but later confirmed a suspect had been arrested in the Bay State.

Saturday’s attacks — which were believed to be unprovoked — began at the Braintree AMC theater, when Jared attacked the four girls, ages 9 to 17, according to authorities.

After that, Jared fled in a Porsche SUV driving 30 miles to Plymouth, Massachusetts, where he then mauled two McDonald’s employees at a rest stop on Route 3, officials say.

The victims were all treated for their injuries at local hospitals, but none of their injuries were deemed life-threatening.

Jared restarted and wrecked the car in a fiery crash in Sandwich, Massachusetts, while being chased by state police who had been put on alert for his vehicle. He was taken into custody and is also being treated for non-life-threatening injuries, according to authorities.

Jared is expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Plymouth District Court.
