Order of disposition, Family Court, Bronx County (Myrna Martinez-Perez, J.),
Except as indicated, the court’s finding was based on legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence. The evidence warranted the conclusion that appellant repeatedly poked the victim in the leg with a pocket knife in an effort to take the victim’s bicycle, although the victim’s friend prevented the theft from being accomplished (see People v Acosta, 80 NY2d 665, 670 [1993]; People v Bracey, 41 NY2d 296, 300 [1977]).
As the presentment agency commendably concedes, the count of attempted assault in the third degree should be dismissed because there was insufficient evidence that appellant came dangerously close to causing physical injury.
We have considered and rejected appellant’s remaining claims. Concur — Saxe, J.P., Sullivan, Williams, Lerner and Friedman, JJ.
