The man who allegedly attacked New York police officers with a machete on New Year’s Eve has pleaded not guilty to state charges in court
The man who allegedly attacked New York police officers with a machete on New Year’s Eve pleaded not guilty to state charges in court Wednesday. Trevor Bickford, 19, appeared in a Manhattan courtroom wearing a tan uniform with his wrists and ankles shackled. He spoke only to enter his plea.
Bickford told authorities during his interview that he said “ Akbar” before he walked up and hit the officer over the head with the weapon, according to a criminal complaint. Prosecutors have alleged the suspect said that all government officials were his target, since they “cannot be proper Muslims because the United States government supports Israel.” The three officers were hospitalized in stable condition and have since been released.
