— Appeal by the defendant from a judgment of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Gary, J.), rendered May 12, 2011, convicting him of attempted assault in the first degree and criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, upon a jury verdict, and imposing sentence.
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant’s contention that he was deprived of a fair trial by certain remarks made by the prosecutor during summation is unpreserved for appellate review (see CPL 470.05 [2]). In any event, the challenged remarks were fairly responsive to the arguments and issues raised by defense counsel in summation, constituted fair comment on the evidence, or were within the broad bounds of rhetorical comment permissible in closing arguments (see People v Galloway, 54 NY2d 396 [1981]; People v Ashwal, 39 NY2d 105 [1976]). Furthermore, since the subject remarks were not improper, defense counsel’s failure to object to those remarks did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel (see People v Friel, 53 AD3d 667 [2008]; People v Rose, 47 AD3d 848 [2008]). Eng, PJ., Dickerson, Chambers and Hall, JJ., concur.
