Showered / flung abusive words

Then I was handcuffed and blindfolded. The commander showered / flung abusive words at me and said: “I will not take you to the camp. I will take you in this direction and then kill you.” At this time they hit me a few times with a stick.

Any mistakes? Thanks.

Thanks MM. I will use your corrections. However, I just want to know whether it is grammatically correct to say "The commander showered abusive words on me."
