reports.

The daughter has not been identified, but told police that her “father had recently been threatening her with honor ******** for refusing an arranged marriage with an older man in another country,” the police report said.

On October 18, the girl ran away from home and sought help from staff at her high school. Her parents followed her to the school and allegedly attacked her outside the facility, where her father began choking her “to the point where she had lost consciousness.”

that he was driving by when he spotted the alleged ******* occurring. He stopped and approached the scene, thinking he was going to break up a ****** between teens, but found the parents allegedly attacking their daughter.

Wagner grappled with Ihsan and held him down until police arrived on scene.

“It was pretty angering. All the kids were screaming, yelling,” he told KOMO.

Once her father was off of her, the girl reportedly ran off with her boyfriend back to the school’s main office while yelling that her father was trying to ***** her. The incident prompted a school lockdown and school staff refused to let the girl’s parents inside the building.

The girl’s boyfriend told KOMO that he had experienced previous issues with his girlfriend’s family to the point where he felt it necessary to get a temporary protective order against them.

The daughter’s school has arranged a safe place for her to stay while police investigate the incident.
