Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Thomas Farber, J.), rendered September 5, 2017, convicting defendant, after a jury trial, of attempted robbery in the third degree, and sentencing him, as a second felony offender, to a term of one and one-half to three years, unanimously affirmed. The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence (see People v. Danielson, 9 N.Y.3d 342, 849 N.Y.S.2d 480, 880 N.E.2d 1 [2007] ). The jury could have reasonably found that defendant's demands for money directed at a bank teller constituted an implied threat of force (see People v. Woods, 41 N.Y.2d 279, 282–283, 392 N.Y.S.2d 400, 360 N.E.2d 1082 [1977] ).
