ROBERTO G. CICILLINI, Appellant, v. CITY OF NEW YORK et al., Defendants, and STEPHEN WILSON et al., Respondents. (And a Third-Party Action.).

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

A jury verdict should not be set aside as against the weight of the evidence unless the jury could not have reached its verdict on any fair interpretation of the evidence ( see Lolik v. Big V Supermarkets, 86 NY2d 744, 746; Finucane v. Negri, 301 AD2d 626; Nicastro v. Park, 113 AD2d 129, 134). Great deference is accorded to the fact-finding function of the jury, and determinations regarding the credibility of witnesses are for the jury, which had the opportunity to see and hear the witnesses ( see Corcoran v. People's Ambulette Serv., 237 AD2d 402). On the evidence presented, the jury could have reached its verdict based on a fair interpretation of the evidence.

The plaintiff's remaining contention is without merit.
