16-047. THE PEOPLE, res, v. FRANK MANUEL, def-app — Judgment of conviction (Steven M. Statsinger, J.), rendered August 13, 2015, affirmed.

The accusatory instrument was not jurisdictionally defective (see People v. Kalin, 12 NY3d 225 [2009]). It charged all the elements of third-degree assault (see Penal Law §120.00[1]). The information — comprising the misdemeanor complaint and domestic incident report signed by the arresting officer and the complainant — alleged, inter alia, that “defendant str[uck] [complainant] about the face with an open hand, causing bruising to [her] face, bleeding to [her] mouth, substantial pain, and loosening [of her] teeth.” These allegations, “given a fair and not overly restrictive or technical reading” (People v. Casey, 95 N.Y.2d 354, 360 [2000]), were sufficient for pleading purposes to establish reasonable cause to believe and a prima facie case that defendant committed the crime of third degree assault (see Penal Law §120.00[1]; People v. Henderson, 92 NY2d 677 [1999]).
