A 19-year-old man was arrested on Monday for allegedly attacking three New York police officers with a machete near Times Square on New Year's Eve.
Bickford, who is reportedly from Maine, was shot during the incident and had been hospitalized.
New York City police and federal officials are still trying to discern a motive, and investigators have been reviewing Bickford's online postings, which included some mentions of Islamic extremist views, the official said. The official could not publicly discuss details of the ongoing investigation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
Mayor Eric Adams said at a news conference early Sunday that he spoke to one of the wounded officers as he was being stitched up at the hospital.
