The incident took place on Approach Road in Cwmbwrla after the Swansea v Cardiff football derby at the Swansea.com stadium.
Swansea Crown Court heard that Mitchell Jones drove his car “aggressively” up and down the road, mounting the pavement, revving the car engine, and trying to “intimidate” a group of Swans fans who had left the Gatehouse pub and were heading for a taxi.
In response, a glass bottle was thrown at Jones’ Volkswagen Polo car and items such as bin bags were tossed into the street to block his way.
Jones then swerved his car across the road and drove into a 20-year-old man who was part of the group.
He then drove away following the incident.
The victim suffered a bleed on the brain and had to have an operation to remove part of his skull to relieve pressure on the brain as a result of the collision, which also left the victim with a fractured left forearm after running him over, which required surgery.
After pleading guilty to dangerous driving and grievous bodily harm with intent he has been sentenced to three years and four months in a young offender institution.
He has been banned from driving for three years and three months.
Detective Inspector Stuart Prendiville from South Wales Police said: “Mitchel Jones is clearly a hot-headed young man who has thrown some of the best years of his life away with his disgraceful actions.
“He showed no remorse for what he had done, or for the lasting damage which he has done to the victim. He drove off without even a slight consideration for the victim’s wellbeing.
“He will now spend a considerable time off the streets – but that will be of scant consolation to the victim and his family.”
