Memorandum: Defendant appeals from a judgment convicting him following a jury trial of assault in the second degree (Penal Law § 120.05 [2]). Contrary to defendant’s contention, there is a valid line of reasoning and permissible inferences that could lead a rational person to the conclusion reached by the jury, and thus we conclude that the conviction is supported by legally sufficient evidence (see, People v Bleakley, 69 NY2d 490 , 495). Present — Pigott, Jr., P.J., Green, Hayes, Scudder and Gorski, JJ.
