Defendant correctly asserts, and the People concede, that it is impossible to commit the crime of robbery in the second degree under Penal Law § 160.10 (2) (a) without also committing, by the same conduct, assault in the second degree pursuant to Penal Law § 120.05 (6). Thus, since assault in the second degree is a lesser included offense of robbery in the second degree (CPL 300.50), defendant's conviction thereon must be reversed and that count dismissed (People v McGlynn, 129 A.D.2d 740; People v Newland, 109 A.D.2d 661; People v Boyd, 102 A.D.2d 774). We have considered defendant's other contentions and find no further reversible error.
