A father-to-be British soldier was seriously injured after being set upon by a gang of 15 thugs and run over with a car in the early hours of New Year's Day.
The 21-year-old man, who has so far been named only as Joshua, was hit by a blue Mercedes yesterday outside the TBC nightclub in Batley, West Yorkshire.
The incident provoked claims on social media that the soldier had been targeted by a large group of Asian men who overheard him talking about his military service.
The British soldier, named only as Joshua (pictured), 21, was seriously injured after being set upon by a gang of 15 thugs and run over with a car in the early hours of New Year's Day
The claims were fuelled by a post by English Defence League founder and convicted fraudster Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon.
But detectives said there was no evidence the soldier was targeted 'due to his service in the Army or that it is motivated by racism'.
West Yorkshire Police said officers are treating the incident as a serious assault and have arrested a 27-year-old man.
The injured soldier's sister Emma wrote on a GoFundMe page today: 'This is my little brother Joshua. He is badly hurt and in the hospital - his girlfriend is also expecting.
'This was an unprovoked attack on a young lad just trying to enjoy his leave. He could have died from the impact of the car - we are lucky he didn't.'

Chief Inspector Ben Ryder said: 'We would like to reassure service personnel that police have no evidence that the victim has been targeted due to his service in the Army, or that it is motivated by racism.
'We remain open-minded and would urge anyone who witnessed the incident or has any further information to come forward to assist with our investigation.'
A police spokesman said a man had been arrested as part of the investigation into the incident outside the club.
He confirmed there was an altercation inside involving a a group of men which then continued outside.
The spokesman said the Mercedes was driven away from the scene but was later recovered by police.

He said: 'Police can confirm that the 21-year-old male victim in this matter is a serving member of HM Forces.
'The victim is in a serious but stable and conscious state, talking to family at his bedside and, when he is ready, the police will be speaking to him.
'The full circumstances leading to the point at which the victim was struck by the vehicle are under investigation.
'A 27-year-old man from Dewsbury has been arrested on suspicion on section 18 wounding with intent.'

English Defence League founder and convicted fraudster Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, has been posting about the incident on Facebook
Claims about the incident involving a large group of Asian men spread across social media, but others took to social media to challenge this version of events.
One witness said she saw some men trying to fight the victim in the street but he did not want to get involved.
She told the Huddersfield Examiner she helped him after he was thrown into the air by the car which she said was travelling at 50mph.
The woman said: 'I thought he was going to die. It was disgusting. I have never seen anything like it in my life. I just hope he is OK.'
Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
