The victim is in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

A 27-year-old man from Dewsbury has been arrested on suspicion of section 18 wounding with intent.

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.
