What did you do? These things don't just happen out of nowhere.

Give him a chance to cool off and go and talk to him. Don't lecture and don't interrupt when he talks. Teenage years are hard for children. Is there an adult make that he could talk to as well.

Why?

Call the police, he needs to be arrested.

Once an abuser, always an abuser. He will do this to his partners as well.

Ahh that’s really hard. Try not to panic is all I’d say, he needs some help with regulating his emotions and behaviour, look at the behaviour and not the person as they say.
any context around the build up / issues he might be struggling with? Are you lone parenting?

What has been the consequence of his actions?
