Stanfield left the scene — and took the victim’s phone to prevent him calling for help, a police spokeswoman said.
She added: “Through a quick police response, his vehicle was sighted on the A1 at Doncaster where he was stopped and arrested.”
Speaking after the sentencing, Det Con Andy Eshelby said: “The victim has showed bravery and courage throughout the trial.
“His life has been changed as a result of being seriously injured by someone he trusted.
“I am pleased that Grant Stanfield received a substantial sentence to reflect the hurt he caused.”
