A man has been arrested after a woman lost her baby in an allegedly racist attack.

Police said a 37-year-old from Milton Keynes was taken into custody on suspicion of racially aggravated assault on Wednesday morning following the incident.

The victim, 34, was shopping in a Co-op near Milton Keynes when a man allegedly launched a tirade of racist abuse at her.

He is then said to have followed her to her car before kicking her hard in the stomach. She collapsed in agony and had to be rushed to hospital, where she was told her baby could not be saved.

A 40-year-old man also allegedly had a bottle and a bag of ice smashed against his head when he tried to intervene.

Both victims were taken to Milton Keynes General Hospital. They have both since been discharged.

Police had released a CCTV image of a man they wished to question in connection with the attack shortly after 9.30pm on August 6 in Water Eaton Road, Bletchley.
