Alan Ritchson’s (43) Neighbor Knocked Him Out Twice Before Video Assault – Details Revealed

Tennessee “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson found himself in a tense street altercation with a neighbor over the weekend, and sources close to the actor say he did not start the fight. According to TMZ, witnesses saw Ritchson riding his motorcycle in Brentwood, Tennessee, with his two children on mini-bikes nearby when the confrontation began.

Our sources say the neighbor, identified as Ronnie Taylor, aggressively stepped into the street, blocking Ritchson’s path. “Ronnie bolted into the street to try to stop Alan’s bike in a really aggressive manner,” the sources explained. Ritchson reportedly crashed during the encounter, falling from his motorcycle and sustaining cuts, bruises, and a minor finger injury.

Despite the aggressive behavior, Ritchson did not retaliate immediately. “Alan did not take the bait and tried to defuse the situation by jumping on his bike to leave,” the sources added.

However, Taylor shoved Ritchson to the ground, which prompted Ritchson to defend himself. TMZ published video footage showing the actor physically confronting his neighbor before getting back on his bike and leaving with his children.
