Trevor Bickford — a Maine resident who arrived in the Big Apple just days before the attack — carried the handwritten note in his backpack, along with a collection of religious material and $200 while staying at the Bowery Mission in Manhattan, the sources said.
Bickford, of Wells, Maine, is believed to have become a radicalized Muslim in recent years following the overdose death of his father, Tom, who died in 2018 at the age of 41.
The teen’s father played a “very active” role in the lives of his three sons, and “could often be found coaching them at football and wrestling,” the Portland Press Herald reported.
Bickford’s radical shift put him on the FBI radar, and sources said his name surfaced on an FBI “Guardian Watchlist” before he hopped an Amtrak train and traveled to New York, arriving on Dec. 29, according to sources.
Around 10 p.m. on Saturday he allegedly attacked cops working the Times Square detail, including a rookie on his first assignment, police said.
It is unclear how long Bickford had been staying at the Bowery Mission, but police sources said investigators found a sheath for the machete, a variety of other knives, and a collection of religious material.

With knives? Must be pay-per-view.
A maine resident that was shipped in from a third world, muslim majority country by the democrats and magically made a citizen.
Has he been hanging around any FBI guys?
Wow. Is that anything like Double Secret Probation?
Was he shipped in?
It sounds like he was a home grown retard that got mixed up in the muzzie stuff later.
“..Has he been hanging around any FBI guys?...”
Good question. He sounds like one of their favorite MK-Ultra wind-up toy zombies.....
Picture of Trevor Bickford with a DOG. Islam considers dogs to be unclean.
“The dog is one of those animals which is not permissible for a Muslim to keep unless a Muslim needs a dog for hunting, guarding livestock or guarding crops”.

I bet this guy is just another mental case.
Yep. Islam itself is the problem. Has been for fourteen centuries.
Maybe Trevor is a chip off the old block or old crack head.
Trevor Bickford is not a Muslim immigrant name type.
Personally, I am so glad that they are alleging the crime. I’d hate to think that a poor guy just happening to be standing there in New York swinging a machete, as is his right under the first amendment to personal freedom of expression, a right granted all foreigners but no longer applicable to “we the people.’
I am glad that there was no “rush to judgment” as there might have been if the perp was an obvious Trump supporter.
Ain’t America good?
Oh, and lest I need this: /SARC
Like Katherine Russell, the Muslim convert girlfriend of Boston marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Nope. The enemy is within. The young white population includes many America haters.

They’ve been scorned and derided by kindergarten teachers and “social workers” not to mention the media barrage depicting white males as cuckholded buffoons.
Any wonder?
Ah yes the religion of peace
No
