Opinion
December 5, 1995
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (John Collins, J.).
Defendant's motion to suppress the gun recovered after he was pursued and subdued by the police was properly denied. The defendant's flight in response to the police approach, taken together with his proximity to the scene of the reported armed robbery and the substantial match between his appearance and the description of one of the perpetrators, justified the pursuit ( People v Ward, 201 A.D.2d 292, lv denied 84 N.Y.2d 834; People v Jones, 214 A.D.2d 683).
Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Ellerin, Wallach, Rubin and Mazzarelli, JJ.
