Opinion
July 25, 1988
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hellenbrand, J.).
Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.
The defendant contends that the hearing court erred in denying his motion to suppress on the ground that his arrest was not based on probable cause. We disagree. The uncontroverted evidence established that the arresting officers knew that a crime had been committed, that defendant fit the description of one of the perpetrators, and that he fled from the police after the officers had identified themselves and ordered him to stop (see, People v. Hearns, 122 A.D.2d 955, lv denied 68 N.Y.2d 914). Based on the totality of circumstances known to the arresting officers, we conclude that there was probable cause to arrest the defendant (see, People v. Bigelow, 66 N.Y.2d 417; People v Brown, 127 A.D.2d 674).
We have examined the defendant's remaining contentions and find them to be without merit. Rubin, J.P., Kooper, Sullivan and Balletta, JJ., concur.
