The verdict was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence ( People v. Bleakley, 69 N.Y.2d 490). Issues concerning identity, including defendant's opportunity to divest himself of evidence connecting him with the crime, were properly presented to the jury for its consideration and we see no reason to disturb its findings ( see, People v. Gaimari, 176 N.Y. 84, 94).
Defendant's suppression motion was properly denied. The police action in detaining defendant for a showup was based on reasonable suspicion. The radioed description of an Hispanic man in a black leather jacket, blue hooded sweatshirt and jeans was sufficiently specific given the close temporal and spatial proximity of the detention and the crime, and particularly since the transmission indicated the flight path of the suspect ( see, People v. Plato, 247 A.D.2d 317, lv denied 91 N.Y.2d 976; People v. Acevedo, 181 A.D.2d 596, lv denied 79 N.Y.2d 1045). Within minutes of receiving the transmission that the suspect had fled into a park, heading east, the police officer encountered defendant, who matched the description, in the expected location, at the eastern exit of the park, a few blocks from the crime scene.
We have considered and rejected defendant's remaining claims, including those contained in his pro se supplemental brief.
