Child support and custody are two separete animals.

Expect that if you file for support, he will file for joint custody/parenting time. And he'll get it.

Has paternity been established? Is he on the birth certificate?
Are you on any type of public assistance?

And, just so you are aware, how he treated you is not an ironclad indicator of how he will treat the child.

Oh, and even if he didn't want the child while you were pregnant and even encouraged you to abort, those are not considered valid reasons to deny him access once the child is born (and actions establishing paternity, custody and parenting time exist).

You are being foolish. File a police report. You're safer if you do that than if you ignore it. If he gets away with it this time, it will be worse next time. And if you file a police report and get a restraining order, he goes straight to jail if he violates it.
