Opinion
April 27, 1987
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Alfano, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
In this case, in which a named citizen informed the police that he had just witnessed the defendant assault the complainant with a knife, there was a sufficient predicate for police action (see, People v Tidwell, 122 A.D.2d 289; People v Marin, 91 A.D.2d 616). Thus, contrary to the defendant's contention, the knife he sought to suppress was properly seized incidental to his lawful arrest.
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit. Brown, J.P., Niehoff, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ., concur.
