Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
It is well settled that a police officer may arrest a person without a warrant when the officer has probable cause to believe that the person has committed a crime. Probable cause may be supplied, in whole or in part, through hearsay information (see, People v. Johnson, 66 N.Y.2d 398). Hearsay information provided to the police by an identified citizen is presumed to be reliable (see, People v. Chipp, 75 N.Y.2d 327, 339-340, cert denied 498 U.S. 833; People v. Crowder, 198 A.D.2d 369). Such information may serve as the basis for a warrantless arrest if it appears, in the language of the Aguilar-Spinelli test, that the informant has some basis of knowledge for the information transmitted to the police (see, People v. Johnson, supra, at 402).
The informant in this case, an identified citizen, was reliable and, as the victim of the crime, he had some basis of knowledge for the information that he gave to the police. Thus, he provided the police with probable cause to arrest the defendant, and the branch of the defendant's omnibus motion which was to suppress his statements to the police was properly denied.
The testimony regarding a prior uncharged crime by the defendant was properly admitted into evidence. The uncharged crime was so inextricably interwoven with the admissible evidence that it was necessary to understand the other parts of the testimony (see, People v. Ventimiglia, 52 N.Y.2d 350, 361, citing People v. Vails, 43 N.Y.2d 364).
The defendant's remaining contentions are either unpreserved for appellate review (see, CPL 470.05) or without merit. Bracken, J.P., Balletta, Thompson and Hart, JJ., concur.
