Johnny Joyce attacked a man at the party at Hawthorn Drive, Glossop in the early hours of Tuesday 21 September.

The victim, who was 22 at the time, suffered a punctured lung as he was stabbed ten times in the back, legs and kidney.

Joyce went on the run and officers from Derbyshire worked with colleagues in Greater Manchester to trace him.

He was eventually arrested by officers from Greater Manchester Police on November 1, following a pursuit.

Joyce, of Stephen Close, Stalybridge, was later charged with causing grievous bodily harm.

He admitted the offence and was sentenced to six years in prison at Manchester Crown Court.
