Am I overreacting and would I be dumb to keep this person as a friend?

me and a group of friends went out and played volleyball at the beach and after started messing around with sparklers and those little popping things you can throw. Well me and someone else threw them at one of our friends, who was very far away and none even hit him, but then I stopped after 2 because I wasn’t going to waste them but the other friend didn’t. This isn’t the first time we’ve done this as he has done it to us before as well and it’s something we laughed about.

The other guy ended up hitting him but then he decided to chase after me and grab me by my neck and pin me to the ground knowing I have a fucked up back from work then proceed to put me in choke hold and wouldn’t stop even after I asked him to stop and I couldn’t breathe. He said he don’t care and asked if I was going to stop even though it wasn’t even me.

Later as we were leaving I told him he can walk home because no fucking way am I driving him home after that but our friend who I drove was with us and I said i was going to take him though. He then proceeded to threaten to take my keys from me and when I got to my car wouldn’t let the other guy in. He then started to squeeze the glass part of my mirror then put his hand through the window (it was open a little bit to tell him I called his brother to come get him beside I wasn’t bringing him home) and open my door. I told him to get out and he wouldn’t but eventually did and when he did he slammed my car door as hard as he could.

My neck has his finger marks on it and dude had the nerve to say I was over reacting and even said, and these are his exact words, “you know I’m a crash out your just over reacting”. I couldn’t breathe and was legit pinned to the ground then dude slammed my car doors and stuff. And this isn’t his first time crashing out on me like this, another time he chocked me out (not as long) and bit me on my ear.

What I’m trying to get at is would I be dumb to keep him as a friend? I don’t hold grudges or stay mad long. The bad part is he’s way stronger than me and most people and I can’t fight back because if I did, he would’ve gotten worse and probably wouldn’t have stopped at all or would’ve been way more aggressive.
