Reacher star Alan Ritchson had an alleged run-in with his neighbor over the weekend — an argument that, based on video footage, turned physical.
Neighbor Ronnie Taylor said he confronted the actor on Sunday about Ritchson’s speed while he was riding motorbikes with his children in their Nashville suburb.
Taylor claimed to TMZ that he asked Ritchson to “f—ing stop this please,” which is when things he said turned physical. Video recorded from a nearby home appears to show Taylor on the ground while Ritchson punches him at least four times and the kids on the motorbikes look on.
Taylor seemingly continues to confront Ritchson, who then puts his helmet on and returns to his bike.
Taylor told TMZ that the actor punched him in the face. Taylor accused the actor, also known for Smallville and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, of leaving him with bruises and swelling, and shared a photo of his reported injuries with the outlet. He told TMZ he reported all this information to police.
Sources close to Ritchson, however, reportedly claimed to the outlet that Taylor “initiated and instigated” the entire event.
