Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County, Joseph Mazur, J.
Defendant appeared at an elevator near the door to the complainant's apartment. After she refused to allow him to carry her groceries to her apartment, he did so anyway. When he returned, he told the complainant, "everybody gets robbed and today's your day." He then displayed what appeared to be a weapon and demanded the complainant's pocketbook. When the complainant refused to comply and rang a neighbor's doorbell, defendant fled. There is no rational view of the evidence which supports any conclusion other than that reached by the trial court, i.e., that the evidence sufficiently demonstrated that defendant intended to rob the complainant.
