Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty of assault in the second degree. The police officer with whom the defendant fought suffered physical injury within the meaning of Penal Law § 10.00 (9) and Penal Law § 120.05 (3). The People established that the officer experienced substantial pain and suffered impairment of physical condition. The officer testified that he went to the hospital to have his injuries treated and that he had to miss two days of work as a result of his struggle with the defendant. In addition, the officer testified that he still had problems with his hand at the time of the trial which was 10 months after the defendant resisted arrest. Thus the record supports the jury's implicit finding that the police officer suffered the requisite physical injury (see, People v Crews, 159 A.D.2d 630).
The defendant's claim that his sentence is excessive is without merit (see, People v Suitte, 90 A.D.2d 80, 85). We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Bracken, J.P., Sullivan, Rosenblatt and Miller, JJ., concur.
