A TikToker accused of dragging his influencer girlfriend by the hair before punching her in the face multiple times and telling her “I’ll kill you before you leave” has been released back into the community on bail.

Rabih Houchar appeared at the NSW Supreme Court on Monday where his barrister Ertunc Ozen SC, who was instructed by prominent lawyer Mahmoud Abbas, successfully applied for the 26-year-old’s bail.

He has pleaded not guilty to domestic violence related assault occasioning actual bodily harm, destroying or damaging property and stalking or intimidating.

Court documents state Houchar was in an on and off again relationship with TikToker Tara Eslami when they returned from lunch to the Vibe Hotel in Sydney on June 16.

While Ms Eslami was texting her friend, Houchar allegedly told her “I don’t like the girls you are hanging out with” and later accused her of speaking to other men.

Alleged facts state Houchar “forcefully” took her phone and cracked the screen.

Ms Eslami took the phone back and allegedly said “I’m going to call the police. I should have done this earlier”.

Houchar allegedly attempted to apologise and said “let’s go and buy you a new phone” and after an intimate moment, he said “we can part ways after this, you don’t need to go to the cops”.

Another argument ensued with police alleging Houchar grabbed her arm as she tried to leave with Ms Eslami saying “I’m not scared of you … I’m going to go to the police … I have voice recordings from before”.

As she packed her bags and walked to the front door, Houchar is accused of ripping her shirt and dragging her by the hair.

He allegedly punched Ms Eslami, causing her lip to bleed and leaving a bump on her forehead before punching his own head.

Ms Eslami told him to “calm down” with Houchar allegedly replying “why are you doing this to me … I love you so much”.

After handing Houchar a cold item for his head, Ms Eslami was allegedly stopped from leaving.

Once back on the bed, she allegedly said “f--k off, please leave me alone … I don’t ever want to see you again”.

Houchar allegedly punched her again in the head while she screamed for him to stop before he replied saying: “Stop? I’m gonna go to jail”.

Ms Eslami allegedly bit him on the arm before texting her sister “help” and “police”.

Houchar had allegedly apologised, but then threatened Ms Eslami, saying “I’m not gonna ever let you leave me, I’ll kill you before you leave”.

He was arrested at his hotel room later that evening and taken to Day Street police station.

In opposing bail, the prosecution submitted there was an unacceptable risk Houchar would make good on his threat to kill Ms Eslami.

However, the defence’s home detention proposal sought to mitigate any potential risk.

While acknowledging the facts were concerning, Justice Robert Allan Hulme found the home detention conditions were stringent and reduced Houchar’s risks to the woman and community.

As part of his bail, Houchar must report to police daily and is banned from using the internet.

An acceptable person must also enter a $20,000 surety.
