He was also charged with threatening a woman over the phone.
DC Matthew Pearce, of Gwent Police, said: “Sobur Miah attacked the two women following a dispute with them. He left one of the women with significant injuries which required hospital treatment for an eye injury, while the second woman received minor injuries during the attack.
“After this assault, he threatened another woman, over the phone, that he was going to attack her and her family with a hammer.
“This was a particularly frightening ordeal for everyone involved and I hope the victims and their families can take some comfort from the fact that Miah is serving a significant custodial sentence.
“After Miah was arrested by officers, he was also discovered to be involved in the supply of cannabis and cocaine.”
