Would it be healthy to leave or stay?

My BF and I woke up, then went to make coffee and breakfast before my classes. But while we waited for the coffee, he started shadow boxing me, pretending to punch, since he boxes. I asked him four times to stop. I even told him the fifth time I was dead serious but he acted like he couldn’t hear me.

I snapped and dumped a glass of water on him. He followed, yelling for me to clean up. When I said it was his fault for not listening, I got up (his mattress is on the floor) and he shoved me hard back down. Did it again when I stood up. I said I was leaving, he hid my clothes bag, then shoved me again and screamed for me to get out. But when I tried to leave, he held my stuff hostage.

I finally got to my car, but he took my phone to make me come back. Later he tried to “reason” but this is a dealbreaker. I vowed never to stay if a guy puts his hands on me. He’s sweet sometimes, but is this normal in healthy relationships?
