THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Appellant, v. GARRY MICHAEL LOPEZ, Respondent.

Ordered that the order is affirmed.

The defendant was standing on pegs on the rear of a bicycle ridden by another individual traveling the wrong way on a one-way street. One of three police officers riding together in a patrol car exited the vehicle, displayed his shield, and stated, "Police, don't move." The defendant fled, the officers pursued, and, after a chase, apprehended the defendant and recovered a gun that he had discarded as he ran. Under the circumstances of this case, the officer's ordering the defendant not to move was unlawful, and the defendant's discarding the weapon in the subsequent pursuit was precipitated by the illegality and was not attenuated from it ( cf. People v Boodle, 47 NY2d 398, cert denied 444 US 969). Accordingly, the weapon was properly suppressed.
