A man charged with attacking police with a machete near New York's Times Square on New Year's Eve has been transferred to U.S. custody and made his initial court appearance
NEW YORK — — A man charged with attacking police with a machete near New York’s Times Square on New Year’s Eve was transferred to U.S. custody and made his initial federal court appearance on Monday to face terrorism charges.
In a soft voice, Bickford answered routine questions from the judge before he was returned to a federal jail after the brief appearance. Bickford, of Wells, Maine, was 19 when authorities said he attacked three police officers with a machete about two hours before the new year began. Authorities have said he began studying radical Islamic ideology last summer before deciding in November to wage jihad against U.S. officials and officials of other governments he thought to be anti-Muslim.
