OPINION OF THE COURT
Pigott, J.
These appeals involve New York’s “gang assault” statutes, which apply when a person, who intends to cause “physical injury” to another, causes that person or a third person “serious physical injury” and is “aided by two or more other persons actually present” (Penal Law §§ 120.06, 120.07). At issue in these cases is whether the two or more persons who provide aid must also share the criminal intent of the defendant. We find that the statutes’ language and history establish that they do not.
