A pregnant woman has been punched and kicked in the stomach during an attack at a suburban shopping strip, Western Australian police say.

The 35-year-old was taken to hospital after the alleged assault on Wednesday that started when a 51-year-old woman verbally abused the younger woman as she entered a Bentley grocery store.
