Police are searching for a man who allegedly kicked and pushed a pregnant woman during a racist attack, causing her to lose her unborn child.

CCTV footage appeared to show the man verbally abusing the 34-year-old woman at a Co-op supermarket in Bletchley, near Milton Keynes, before following her to her car and knocking her to the ground.

The victim collapsed after being kicked in the stomach and was rushed to hospital, where she was told doctors would be unable to save her baby.

Thames Valley Police confirmed they wanted to speak to the man in connection with the attack on 6 August, and said a another man had been hit on the head with a bottle when he tried to intervene and save the woman.

In a statement, PC Richard Armitage said: “This racially aggravated assault had absolutely devastating consequences for the victim, who lost her baby as a result of the attack. Our thoughts are with her and her family at this incredibly difficult and sad time.
