The father of my child strangled me

This past Friday the father of my child and I got into a heated argument and he strangled me, pushed my face onto the diner table, then dragged me by my hair all the way to the living room sofa chair and strangled me again. It started out as a a causal evening, my mother came over to visit us at our apartment and the father of my child came home from work, he opened a bottle of wine and had a glass of wine before we headed out to a reunion dinner with some friends. My mom left and we headed out to dinner with our almost 4 month old daughter. Everything was great at dinner, he ordered a bottle of wine and mostly drank all of it to him self and then he got free whisky from the waiter. So let's say he probably had a good 5- 6 glasses of wine plus the whiskey. I had a glass in a half of wine. After dinner we went back home he turned on a movie before the movie ended he said he was tired and going to bed. He went to bed, a couple minutes later my daughter started getting fussy so I went into the room to change her diaper and there he was on the bed just playing on his phone like he usually does everyday. I change her and put her on the bed next to him and tell him to take care of her because I wanted to finish the movie. Moments later he comes to the living room saying the baby is hungry and I told him to take care of her. He said I was ignoring him and went to disconnect the tv wire. I put back on the wire, so then he went into the kitchen opened the power box and started turning all the power off in every room while our daughter was alone in the bedroom and she started crying because all the lights went out. I went into the kitchen to turn back on the power and yelled at him, he continued to taunt me and tell me that I was ignoring him. I told him to just make her a bottle hence take care of her. As I went back to the living room to finish the movie he turned the power off again. This time I got really angry with him because he was doing it on purpose already 4 or 5 times. He came back into the living room and we started arguing, I through the control at him and it missed. I went back into the kitchen to try and put the power back on and he was blocking the power box. Started taunting me again and we continued to argue. I grabbed his most expensive liquor bottle from his bar next to our kitchen and told him I was going to pour it all down the sink if he doesn't stop. I told him to move away from the sink and he wouldn't, I poked him with the bottle and the top came off and it started spilling, that's when he grabbed me by my neck and slammed my face on the dinning table and started strangling me and dragged me by my hair and neck to the living room. Once he let go he left to the bedroom I immediately searched for my phone called my dad as I was crying on the phone after what happened. I asked my dad to pick me up while I got my daughter and started packing my baby's things. Before we left he told me that it was my fault and I was the one who was wrong. My parents only live a few minutes away and came to pick me and my daughter up. I told my parents everything that happened that night. As of now I'm currently staying with my parents for me and my daughters safety. He has tried to contact me saying that he misses his daughter and wants to see her. I know he's not sorry for what he's done. I only sent him a picture showing him that she is fine. I haven't replied anything else to him. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? I really need help on what to do next as far as keeping my baby if things get really serious. I don't want to take things to court but if I have to I will.

Thank you in advance

Edit: No he was not drunk. This isn't the first time he's been aggressive/violent towards me he's broken my phone and thrown it out the window before and kicked off locks from rooms and broke our bedroom door, the list goes on. I do have bruises around my neck. This is the first and last time he's ever putting his hands on me. I will not be going back to him.
