An e-bike rider who stabbed a man in the back as he rode past has been jailed.
Harvey Emmingham, 23, attacked his victim, whom he knew, in the early hours of 18 February in Gainsborough, where he lived at the time.
He pleaded guilty to a charge of grievous bodily harm and possession of a knife in a public place.
Emmingham, now of Sorrell Sykes Close, Rotherham, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison during a hearing at Lincoln Crown Court earlier.
The victim, who is in his 40s, had been walking along Trinity Street with his partner between 00:10 and 00:30 when Emmingham rode past on an e-bike several times while making threats to assault him.
They changed course, but Emmingham returned and rode up behind the victim on a footpath by Dickenson Terrace.
He stabbed him in the back before riding off.
Police were called at 00:36 BST and found the victim with a stab wound in the middle of his back. He was treated in hospital.
Emmingham was tracked down to a property in Bob Rainsforth Way, about a mile and a half away, and arrested.
Lincolnshire Police said it worked with West Lindsey District Council to gather evidence from CCTV footage.
