• 236 Conn. App. 349

Syllabus

Convicted of, inter alia, assault of a correctional officer in connection with an altercation with G, the defendant appealed. He claimed that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction because there was no evi- dence that he caused physical injury to G, which was an element of the crime. Held: The trial court reasonably could have concluded that the cumulative force of the evidence established the essential elements of the crime of assault of a correctional officer beyond a reasonable doubt, including that G suffered a physical injury, as the court reasonably could have inferred that G experi- enced pain when he scraped and scuffed his knee during the incident with the defendant, and the state was not required to demonstrate that G had an observable physical condition or a physical manifestation of his pain or that he had sought medical attention or was impaired in his ability to work.
