A 50-year-old local man is being held on suspicion of attempted murder and a racially-aggravated offence.
Home Secretary Sajid Javid called on society to "reject the terrorists and extremists who seek to divide us".
Officers were called at about 22:30 GMT on Saturday to reports a man was acting aggressively while carrying weapons in Viola Avenue, where vehicles had been damaged.
They then received another call reporting a stabbing nearby. Armed police swooped and arrested the suspect.
'He needs help'
The 19-year-old victim went to a nearby McDonald's for help and was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
However, the girlfriend of the arrested man has claimed he "needs help" and is in "no way a terrorist".
Nemer Salem, 24, who lives on Viola Avenue, said the man was shouting from a window "crazy things about Muslims".
Vincent Sutherland, who also lives on the road, said: "He was shouting 'kill a Muslim' and 'white supremacy'."
But he added: "He's polite, he always says hello to me."
The BBC understands complaints have been made in the past about the suspect's behaviour to A2Dominion, the housing association which owns the property in which he lives.
A spokesperson for A2Dominion said: "We are aware of the incident in Stanwell. As this relates to an ongoing police investigation, we are unable to comment at this time but will cooperate with the police if and when called upon to do so."
The girlfriend of the arrested man said: "It's not like him, he's the loveliest guy you could meet.
"He needs help. He's had a lot going on in his life and I think this was just something that tipped him.
"He's the love of my life and I will stand by him."
