The jurors heard how Ian Shields, 37, tried to get the pedestrian to drop charges two days before the victim was due to attend a police identity procedure.
The pedestrian had suffered a broken nose, a broken eye socket and damaged hands when the two had encountered each other the previous month.
After hearing from both men, the jury convicted Shields of causing actual bodily harm and witness intimidation after three hours in retirement at York Crown Court.
They acquitted him of causing grievous bodily harm to the pedestrian.
Shields, of Gascoigne Walk, off Scarcroft Road, York, had denied all three charges.
The Recorder of York, Judge Sean Morris, adjourned sentence while a probation officer prepares a report on Shields.
The judge told him: “These are very serious matters indeed. You have some time to get your affairs in order.”
After Shields had left the court dock, he told the jury: “A prison sentence will follow.”
Shields was released on bail. He will return to court on November 8 to learn his sentence.
