Braintree Police Department Press Release
Four Juveniles injured in stabbing at AMC Braintree 10
May 25, 2024
For Immediate Release
At approximately 6:00 p.m., a male entered AMC Braintree 10 at 121 Grandview Avenue. He proceeded past the ticket counter and entered one of the theaters without paying. Inside of that theater, he encountered four young females.
Without saying anything and without any warning, he suddenly attacked and stabbed the four young females. The attack appeared to be unprovoked. After the attack, the man ran out of the theater and left in a vehicle. Braintree Police, Braintree Fire, and Brewster Paramedics arrived on scene to treat the victims.
The investigation and suspect search began immediately. The females, ages from 9 years to 17 years, all sustained non-life-threatening injuries. All were transported to Boston hospitals for treatment.
Braintree Police Patrol Officers and Detectives were able to quickly review video footage and retrace the suspect’s movements. They discovered that he had left the AMC Braintree 10 in what appeared to be a black SUV. Using various investigative techniques, the officers were able to see that the suspect was no longer in the area. There was also video footage that allowed authorities to capture a license plate. A general broadcast was put out to law enforcement.
Shortly after the broadcast, a vehicle matching the description was reportedly involved in similar assault in Plymouth. That vehicle was pursued by Massachusetts State Police and ultimately crashed in Sandwich. The driver has been taken into custody. It appears as though the crimes are related. More to follow.
