Fill in a p46 at the new place.

They can't refuse to give you your P45. What reason are they giving?

This is from HMRC website on the employer's obligations when an employee leaves -

Completing a P45 for the employee
You must complete a P45 for any leaving employee for whom you are required to keep a form P11. Give parts 1A, 2 and 3 to the leaving employee and submit part 1 to HMRC.

He's breaking the law and you can report him to HMRC.

In the meantime, to avoid being overtaxed in youir new employment, fill in a P46 for your new employer (as already suggested).

Fill the p46, they'll put you on a week/month 1 tax code.

HMRC will eventually tell your new employer to change you to the relevant code.
