Ordered that the order of disposition is affirmed, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to the appellant's contentions, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the presentment agency ( cf. People v Contes, 60 NY2d 620; Matter of Jamal C., 186 AD2d 562), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish, beyond a reasonable doubt, the "physical injury" element of the crimes of assault in the second degree and assault in the third degree ( see Penal Law § 120.05; § 120.00 [1]). "[P]hysical injury" is defined as "impairment of physical condition" or "substantial pain" ( see Penal Law § 10.00). The complainant's testimony established that he was punched in the face, which caused him to bite down and sustain a half-inch laceration to his tongue resulting in swelling and "stinging pain" which the emergency room record denominated as pain level "5." In addition, he incurred a contusion of the left thumb which remained painful and swollen with a restricted range of motion for several days. This evidence was sufficient to support the determination that the complainant sustained a "physical injury" within the meaning of Penal Law § 10.00 (9) ( see People v Ellis, 8 AD3d 826, 828-829; People v Berry, 273 AD2d 120, 121; Matter of Tyrone T., 233 AD2d 451; People v Pacheco, 204 AD2d 577, 578; Matter of Jason J., 187 AD2d 652, 653).
The appellant's remaining contentions are without merit.
