The incident outside a house in Clifton was the second time Jordan Dobson had knifed a man in the street, York Crown Court heard.
Andrew Semple, prosecuting, said Dobson and his friend Sheldon Scott shouted at the house where the victim’s son was sheltering: “I’m going to come through the door, I’m going to smash your face in in front of your girlfriend, which will be embarrassing."
The son called his father for help and when the father arrived and tried to get the two friends away from the house, Dobson stabbed him in the abdomen with a knife which had a 10-inch blade.
Dobson also chased the son down the side of the house when he came back out into the street.
The knifeman was jailed for 80 months in 2020 for stabbing a stranger in the street and finished his prison parole from that sentence 11 days before the Clifton stabbing.
