Description
The subject accusatory instrument alleges that defendant repeatedly punched a named person in the back of her head in the presence of her daughters, ages 4 and 6, causing her to suffer, inter alia, swelling on the back of the head, soreness on the back of the neck, pain and fear of further physical injury. The accusatory instrument itself is not expressly denominated either a misdemeanor complaint or an information (cf. People v Casey, 95 NY2d 354, 359 [2000]). The distinction between an information and a misdemeanor complaint appears, in any event, to be of no consequence in this case; herein the focus of the parties is whether under the language of the accusatory instrument, there was sufficient factual support for the element of "physical injury" with respect to the offense of assault in the third degree (see Penal Law § 10.00 [9]; § 120.00; CPL 100.15, 100.40).
