A neighbor of “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson has detailed how the actor allegedly “kicked trash” out of him in his front yard over the weekend.
On Monday, Ronnie Taylor told TMZ that he allegedly confronted Ritchson after he repeatedly drove his motorcycle too fast on Tennessee roads.
Taylor claimed on Saturday that he didn’t know Ritchson was famous when he told the Prime Video star to slow down to avoid getting hurt.
“Then on Sunday, as I was cleaning outside my house on my bike, he cycled past me once or twice, and the second time I stepped in front of him, I said, ‘Don’t do it, someone’s going to get hurt,'” Taylor recalled.
“Then it escalated quickly. He came towards me on his bike and I pushed him,” Taylor admitted.
Taylor claimed that Ritchson approached him a second time on his bike and that he “shoved him again,” adding, “The second time he got off his bike, I think he kicked the shit out of me.”
“He punched me in the back of the head and I fell to the ground and covered myself,” Taylor claimed, explaining that he wished no “malice” toward the “Fast X” star.
Taylor previously admitted he gave Ritchson, 43, the middle finger, but it was given back.
The incident occurred in front of two children, believed to be the actor’s sons. His children are a son with his wife, Katherine Ritchson;
Taylor showed off alleged bruises and scratches on her forehead, nose and chin.
Ritchson’s representatives did not immediately respond to Page Six for comment.
A video obtained by TMZ on Sunday allegedly shows the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles star punching a man in broad daylight.
The footage showed Taylor kneeling on the floor and Ritchson appearing to punch Taylor “at least four times.”
Taylor claimed to have reported the neighbor to police, and law enforcement officials told the outlet that an investigation is underway.
No arrests have been made.
Insiders close to Ritchson told the magazine that Ritchson did not start the altercation and claimed he was pushed off his bike by a “very aggressive” neighbor before the scuffle broke out.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire star reportedly suffered a minor injury to his finger, as well as cuts and bruises.
Ritchson has yet to address the incident, last sharing a video of her singing and battling jet lag over the weekend.
He often shares quirky videos and photos of himself working hard on set and with his family.
