Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the County Court, Nassau County (Kowtna, J.).
ORDERED that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution ( see, People v. Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish that, in the course of the commission of the crime of robbery in the second degree, the defendant caused the complainant physical injury ( see, Penal Law §§ 160.10 Penal[2][a]; 10.00 Penal[9]; People v. Spence, 251 A.D.2d 604).
The defendant's remaining contentions are without merit.
RITTER, J.P., KRAUSMAN, FLORIO, and FEUERSTEIN, JJ., concur.
