Police have arrested a woman in connection with a "racially abusive" Facebook post that appeared to ban Muslims from an Oxfordshire beauty salon.
Thames Valley Police detained a 43-year-old woman after the remarks were made public on the Blinks of Bicester Facebook page in the wake of the Paris terror attacks.
The now-deleted post was said to have read: "Blinks of Bicester are no longer taking bookings from anyone from the Islamic faith whether you are UK granted with passport or not" and "Sorry but time to put my country first".
Police arrested the woman from Bicester, Oxfordshire, after people took to social media to complain about the comments.
A Thames Valley Police spokeswoman said: "We have arrested a 43-year-old woman in Bicester today after a number of complaints about a racially abusive post on social media.
"The woman was arrested under section 19 of the Public Order Act which relates to the display of written material which is threatening, abusive or insulting with the intention of stirring up racial hatred, and for producing malicious communications.
"We take all such complaints seriously and will investigate.
"If you suspect that racially aggravated crimes are being committed please report them to Thames Valley Police on 101."
According to the Equality Act 2010, businesses are forbidden from refusing service on the basis of a particular religion or belief.
