PEOPLE v. SANTOS

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v. Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, 757, cert denied 469 U.S. 932), there was sufficient proof that defendant intended to cause the police officer serious physical injury when he threw the knife at the officer's body (see, People v. Carter, 53 N.Y.2d 113, 116). Defendant's intent is inferred from his conduct of throwing the knife and attacking the police officer after the officer attempted to subdue defendant (People v. Bracey, 41 N.Y.2d 296, 301).
