Order of disposition, Family Court, New York County (Emily M. Olshansky, J.), entered on or about December 12, 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 robbery in the first degree, attempted grand larceny in the fourth degree, and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and placed him with the Close to Home Program for a period of 18 months, unanimously affirmed, without costs.
The court's finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and 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 credibility determinations. The victim's testimony was corroborated by police observations and reasonable inferences that could be drawn therefrom. The evidence established that appellant threatened the victim with a knife while demanding that he turn over his property.
