The man who allegedly attacked New York police with a machete on New Year’s Eve penned a letter to his family begging them to accept Islam, police said.
Trevor Bickford, 19, of Maine, arrived in New York City just days before New Year’s Eve and stayed at the Bowery Mission in Manhattan. Mr Bickford carried a handwritten note in his bag urging his family to "repent to Allah and accept Islam," police told The New York Post.
