Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Peter J. Passidomo, J.), entered on or about July 14, 2017, which adjudicated appellant a juvenile delinquent upon a fact-finding determination that he committed acts that, if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of attempted assault in the second degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and placed him on probation for a period of 12 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court's fact-finding determination was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson, 9 N.Y.3d 342, 348–349, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ). There is no basis for disturbing the court's determinations concerning credibility. Although the victim did not testify, the off-duty detective had a sufficient opportunity to observe the incident so as to establish all the elements of the offenses.
