Quillian, Chief Judge.

The defendant appeals his convictions on two counts — one ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‍for aggravated assault with intent to rob and the second for aggravated assault. Held:

The sole basis for reversal urged on appeal concerns the sufficiency ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‍of the evidence. From an examination of the transcript, according to the defendant and one of his witnesses, he was not present at ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‍the scene of the attempted robbery; while, on the other hand, the state’s witness positively identified him. Applying the standard of Jackson v. ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‍Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560), a rational trier of fact could have found the defendant guilty of the offenses ‍‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​​​‌‍charged beyond a reasonable doubt.

Judgment affirmed.

McMurray, P. J., and Pope, J, concur.
