The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. There is no basis for disturbing the jury's determinations concerning identification and credibility ( see People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490, 495). The element of serious physical injury required for the first-degree assault conviction was established by evidence of permanent scars ( see People v Bailey, 275 AD2d 663, lv denied 95 NY2d 960). Defendant's pro se claims are without merit.
