No, he is in the wrong for abusing you.
He didn't know what was going on, yet he shut you down (wouldn't give you a chance to explain), no communication and was yelling abuse, threatening and trying to choke you?! He showed you his true colours right there.
I would not have anything to do with him. He is dangerous. Period. At this point, you do not owe him any apology nor explanation. I would not initiate communication nor let him in. Get the police involved if need be. For your protection.
