Bickford had an Amtrak ticket to Miami and wanted to travel abroad, “but then decided to come to New York first in order to kill people and carry out Jihad,” Nicholas said. He had no known ties to the city or state, she said..Nicholas said Bickford told investigators that “all government officials” were a target for him because of the U.S.’s support of Israel, including police officers, but that he purposely spared civilians from harm.

Three officers were struck with the machete before an officer shot the suspect, authorities said. One officer suffered a fractured skull and another had a bad cut. All were expected to recover. Investigators believe the attacker acted alone. FBI agents were seen Sunday entering Bickford’s family home in Wells, a popular beach destination close to the New Hampshire border. Bickford competed in sports in high school, was part of Maine’s state champion wrestling team in 2020 and made the honor roll for his studies at least one year.
