Help for the UK

I need some advice and some help. My boyfriend beat me up really badly.. the neighbours called the police because they thought he was going to kill me! I lied to the police to protect him but I know I shouldn’t have done that. We are both renting a place from the local council.. both are names are on the tenancy.. I’ve asked him to leave which results in more fights as he claims this place is his. I have nowhere else to go, can someone please tell me or point me in the right direction as to how I can keep my home but get rid of him from my life?! Please.
