THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. PHILIP LEWIS, Appellant.

Contrary to defendant's contention, the radio run stating that a light-skinned black male wearing a red sweatsuit, accompanied by another male wearing a black and white jacket, had a gun at a specified intersection afforded the police at least the common law right to inquire of defendant (see, People v. De Bour, 40 N.Y.2d 210). Defendant's flight before the officers questioned him justified pursuit in the circumstances of this case (see, People v. Bora, 83 N.Y.2d 531).

Finally, inconsistent testimony from the officers on immaterial matters did not render the testimony as a whole incredible as a matter of law (see, People v. Fryer, 186 A.D.2d 405, lv denied 81 N.Y.2d 762).

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Rosenberger, Ellerin, Asch and Nardelli, JJ.
