Shocking scenes went viral on March 22, 2026, when Reacher and War Machine star Alan Ritchson was seen brawling with a man in his neighborhood<\/a>. Now, that other guy, whose name is Ronnie Taylor has explained what went down, from his point of view.<\/p>\n During the melee, Alan Ritchson can be seen delivering repeated uppercuts to a man in a blue T-shirt, in front of his own children, and then returning to his Kawasaki motorbike, where he proceeded to lose control and let it crash down on the sidewalk. The real-life action went down in a Nashville suburb of Tennessee, where the Hollywood star lives. But Ritchson did not strike first, according to a statement from Taylor.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking to TMZ TV, Ronnie Taylor, who lives near Ritchson, explained that he had initiated the confrontation after becoming alarmed by the movie star\u2019s driving. \u201cI\u2019m an experienced motorcycle rider,\u201d said Taylor, who added that he\u2019d heard an \u201cincestuous revving and speeding\u201d through the neighborhood. \u201cI didn\u2019t know who it was,\u201d he noted, adding that on Saturday, March 21, he saw Ritchson again and \u201cflippantly\u201d asked him to slow down in future. The next day, Taylor says that while he was cleaning his own bike outside of his house, Ritchson rode past his house twice. \u201cOn the second time, I walked out in front of him and I said, \u2018You\u2019ve got to stop,\u2019\u201d said Taylor. \u201cSomeone\u2019s gonna get hurt.\u201d The neighbor added that things escalated quickly form there, and admitted to pushing the 6\u20193\u2019\u2019 action star as he moved forward on his bike. \u201cI pushed him a second time,\u201d he shared. \u201cAnd I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n In the original video, Ritchson appears to deliver repeated punches to Taylor, who by this time is on the ground. \u201cYou can see, he hit me in the back of the head. I went to the ground and covered myself.\u201d But despite the unfortunate events and visible scrapes to his face, Taylor says that he doesn\u2019t wish Ritchson \u201cany malice or ill will.\u201d In the chat with TMZ TV, he said: \u201cI just decided, I\u2019m [going to] take a stand because someone else has to [or] it\u2019s gonna end up way worse than it could have.\u201d<\/p>\n For his part, Ritchson has so far stayed largely silent following the events of the weekend, but made an Instagram post on March 24, reciting the famous Napoleon Bonaparte quote: \u201cNever interrupt your enemy when his is making a mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n To follow further developments on TMZ TV\u2019s Instagram channel, click here.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Happened Between Alan Ritchson and His Neighbor?<\/h2>\n
