After entering the store the 33-year-old woman was followed by her 43-year-old partner who proceeded to strike the victim several times to the head before dragging her to the ground and continuing to assault her.
Alice Springs general duties officers attended the scene and arrested the offender and he remains in police custody.
He is expected to be charged with Recklessly Endanger Serious Harm later today.
