NEW YORK — The Maine teenager accused of trying to murder NYPD officers on New Year’s Eve in Times Square pleaded not guilty to state terrorism charges Wednesday.
Trevor Bickford appeared in state Supreme Court in Manhattan to enter his plea days after facing federal terrorism charges.
Prosecutors say the 19-year-old attacked three officers on patrol on Eighth Avenue near West 52nd Street with a machete-like short sword in a frenetic bid to murder men in uniform.
