In July 2023, Jagielski stabbed the victim several times after they met near Abbey Road and then ran away, leaving his victim injured in the street, according to Staffordshire Police
Paramedics treated the victim, a man in his 20s, at the scene and took him to hospital for treatment from where he was later discharged after recovering.
After speaking to witnesses in the area at the time, the 20-year-old was tracked down to his home and arrested, the force said.
