Thames Valley police said the arrest was made on Wednesday. A 37-year-old man from Milton Keynes was detained on suspicion of racially aggravated assault and remains in custody.
Police said the 34-year-old woman was racially abused in a Co-op supermarket in Milton Keynes before being followed to her car by the attacker. She was kicked in the torso, knocking her to the ground.
The incident has been logged as a racially and religiously aggravated crime.
The woman, according to witnesses, was “Middle Eastern in appearance” and wore a headscarf — most probably a Muslim — but police refused to comment on her ethnic background.
