Opinion of the Court

*562The record indicates that the police interaction with the defendant was justified at its inception and reasonably limited in scope at each step in response to the circumstances presented (see, People v De Bour, 40 NY2d 210; People v Chism, 194 AD2d 351; People v Martinez, 80 NY2d 444; People v Boodle, 47 NY2d 398, cert denied 444 US 969). Accordingly, the Supreme Court properly denied suppression of the physical evidence. Mangano, P. J., Bracken, Copertino and Pizzuto, JJ., concur.
