The People of the State of New York, Respondent,
v
Raheem Wright, Appellant.

[*1]

Steven Banks, The Legal Aid Society, New York (Sheilah Fernandez of counsel), for appellant.

Robert T. Johnson, District Attorney, Bronx (Justin J. Braun of counsel), for respondent.

Judgment, Supreme Court, Bronx County (Judith S. Lieb, J.), rendered September 10, 2009, convicting defendant, after a nonjury trial, of attempted assault in the third degree (two counts), attempted endangering the welfare of a child, and harassment in the second degree (two counts), and sentencing him to an aggregate term of 90 days, unanimously affirmed.

The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v Danielson, 9 NY3d 342, 348-349 [2007]). There is no basis for disturbing the court's credibility determinations. Defendant's intent to injure the victims, as well as the other elements of the crimes, could be readily inferred from the evidence. Concur—Tom, J.P., Catterson, DeGrasse, Richter and Manzanet-Daniels, JJ.
