THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. MARCUS URENA, Appellant.

Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Contrary to the defendant's contention, the evidence was legally sufficient to establish his guilt of resisting arrest based on the underlying charge of harassment. The jury could reasonably have inferred from the defendant's conduct an intent to harass, annoy or alarm the officer whom the defendant had pushed (see, People v Collins, 178 A.D.2d 789; People v Hare, 66 Misc.2d 207). Further, even if the defendant was not specifically told that he was under arrest, he could infer from the circumstances that he was under arrest (see, People v Gray, 189 A.D.2d 922; People v SiMartin, 135 A.D.2d 591).

We find no merit to the defendant's contentions with regard to his sentence. Mangano, P.J., Balletta, Lawrence and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
