THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. ELMER HEARNS, Appellant.

Judgment affirmed.

The hearing court did not err in denying the defendant's motion to suppress certain postarrest statements on the ground that his arrest was not based upon probable cause where the uncontroverted evidence established that the arresting officers knew that a crime had been committed, they observed the defendant fleeing from the scene of the crime and the defendant did not stop when one of the officers identified himself and ordered him to do so (see, People v Howard, 50 N.Y.2d 583, cert denied 449 U.S. 1023; People v Medina, 107 A.D.2d 302; People v Chestnut, 91 A.D.2d 981).

We have considered the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Brown, J.P., Niehoff, Rubin and Kunzeman, JJ., concur.
