THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. JOHN PATTERSON, Appellant.

Judgment affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, as we are required to do (see, e.g., People v Malizia, 62 N.Y.2d 755, 757, cert denied 469 U.S. 932), we find that the evidence establishes that the defendant intended to cause serious physical injury to his victim when he stabbed him in the head with a knife. Therefore, his conviction for assault in the first degree should stand (see, Penal Law § 120.10). Gibbons, J.P., Bracken, Weinstein and Niehoff, JJ., concur.
