The incident occurred around 10.20pm on June 20 in the Durngate Terrace area, where police were called to reports of an injured man in his 40s.
It was reported that an altercation had taken place inside a vehicle, during which the victim was stabbed in the arm.
The man was taken to hospital for treatment.
McAuley was arrested by officers near the scene, and a discarded knife was found close by.
Detective Constable Frank Jones said: "The consequences of carrying and using knives can be devastating. Fortunately in this case, the victim did not sustain a life-threatening injury, but using a knife in this way can easily lead to fatal consequences.
"I hope this investigation and court result shows we will take knife crime seriously and will look to take those who perpetrate it off the streets and before the courts."
