A father accused of almost strangling his daughter in an attempted 'honor killing' outside her school was freed on just $150,000 bail.

Ihsan Ali, 44, and his wife Zahraa Subhi Mohsin Ali, 40, were charged with attempted kidnapping and assault after the attack on October 18.

The girl, 17, who wasn't named, ran away from home to Timberline High School in Lacey, Washington, after her parents tried to put her on a plane to Iraq.

'Her father had recently been threatening her with honor killing for refusing an arranged marriage with an older man in another county,' the girl told police, according to court documents.

Shocking video allegedly showed Ihsan on the ground with his daughter in a chokehold, while classmates desperately tried to free her.

But he was released from jail on October 24 on just a $150,000 bond after a hearing in Thurston County Superior Court.

This was despite Judge John Skinder warning there was substantial danger Ihsan would commit another violent crime and interfere with the case.

He was ordered to wear an ankle monitor and not have any contact with his daughter, who was moved to a safe house, or wife.

Zahraa, who also allegedly tried to strangle her daughter after students fought off Ihsan but was even less successful, and was arrested on October 22.

She faced a different judge to her husband, Judge Christopher Lanese, and was also charged with attempted murder.

He set her bail at $500,000, noting the same issues as Skinder and his lack of confidence she was show up to her next hearing, and she stayed behind bars.
