A suspect—believed to have been obsessed with Islam—who targeted three NYPD officers in Times Square on New Year’s Eve in a machete attack is facing terrorism charges, with the victims of the attack expected to make a recovery.

On Friday, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office reported that the suspect, Trevor Bickford, 19, has been indicted by a grand jury on multiple counts, including aggravated assault on a police officer as an act of terrorism, first-degree attempted murder, and first-degree attempted murder in the furtherance of an act of terrorism. Bickford is facing 18 felony counts in total.
