Officers quickly located Evans and arrested him a short time later that evening.
Evans has been jailed for four years and three months. He has been also made subject of a restraining order which states he must not contact the victim for a period of 10 years.
District Support Sergeant Andy Davies said: “Everyone should be able to feel safe when out in their own community without the fear of being attacked.
“I hope Evan’s sentence reassures the local community that acts of violence will not be tolerated and we will pursue those that seek to inflict harm.”
