Police and federal officials still working to determine a motive for the attack near New York's Times Square on New Year's Eve.
The Associated PressConfetti flies around the countdown clock during the New Year's event in New York City's Times Square on Jan. 1.
Bickford, who lives in Wells, Maine, remained hospitalized Monday with a gunshot wound to the shoulder from police fire during the confrontation. He was awaiting arraignment, and it wasn't immediately clear whether he had a lawyer who could speak to the allegations. The Associated Press left messages for his relatives.
New York City police and federal officials are still trying to discern a motive, and investigators are reviewing Bickford's online postings, which included some mentions of Islamic extremist views, the official said. The official could not publicly discuss details about the ongoing investigation and spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity.
