The evidence in support of the indictment for robbery in the second degree established prima facie the use or threatened use of force. The Grand Jury could readily infer that defendant's action in standing "chest to chest" with the victim, moving in unison with the victim until the latter was backed up against a subway pole, was meant to intimidate the victim and was indicative of the threat of force ( People v. Watson, 245 A.D.2d 87; Matter of Eric R., 213 A.D.2d 310). Accordingly, the indictment charging defendant with robbery in the second degree must be reinstated.
