ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- A fireworks display in the city of Rochester scheduled for New Year's Eve has been canceled. It was not immediately clear why the fireworks were scrubbed, though authorities on Wednesday charged a man suspected of supporting the Islamic State and planning a New Year's Eve attack.
In a tweet, the city of Rochester said that it would be deploying extra police Thursday night throughout the city.
"To our residents, be safe and stay vigilant, not just tonight but every night," another tweet from the city read.
Emanuel Lutchman, 25, of Rochester, was charged with attempting to provide material support to terrorists. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Lutchman became a Muslim while serving time for robbery in Attica Prison.
A federal complaint says Lutchman is a self-professed convert to Islam who claimed to receive direction from an overseas ISIS member and planned to carry out an attack at a bar-restaurant in the Rochester area on Thursday, the Associated Press reported. The authorities did not name any targets in the attack.
The FBI said in a criminal complaint that Lutchman and an accomplice working for the FBI bought knives and a machete for the attack, the Associated Press reported.
