Actor Alan Ritchson was involved in a physical altercation with a neighbor in a Tennessee neighborhood over the weekend, with video footage capturing the incident as it unfolded, as reported by Page Six.
The footage, obtained by TMZ, shows the “Reacher” star striking a man identified as Ronnie Taylor multiple times in the face and head during a confrontation that took place on Sunday on a residential street.
The altercation reportedly stemmed from a dispute over Ritchson’s motorbike.

According to the video, several young boys — described as appearing to be two of Ritchson’s three sons — were present and watching from the street as the confrontation escalated on the sidewalk.
Taylor, who later shared a photo of his injuries with TMZ, appeared to cower during the encounter until Ritchson stepped away.
Afterward, Taylor was seen retrieving what appeared to be his glasses from the ground before continuing to argue with the actor.
The situation eventually de-escalated, with Ritchson restarting his green Kawasaki motorcycle and leaving the scene. Taylor was seen heading back toward his home across the street.

Authorities have not made any arrests in connection with the incident. Taylor reported the alleged assault, and an investigation is ongoing.
Sources close to Ritchson told TMZ that the actor did not initiate the confrontation. According to those sources, Taylor allegedly pushed Ritchson off his motorbike multiple times prior to the portion of the altercation captured on video.
The sources described Taylor’s behavior as “really aggressive.”
The dispute between the two men reportedly began the day before the physical confrontation. According to Taylor, tensions first arose when Ritchson revved his motorcycle while riding through the neighborhood.
Taylor told TMZ that he responded by making a hand gesture toward the actor, with Ritchson allegedly responding in kind.
The situation escalated the following day when Ritchson returned to the area with his children. Taylor alleged that he told the actor to “f–king stop this please.”
