>[The alleged victim, Ronnie Taylor, tells TMZ ](https://www.tmz.com/2026/03/22/alan-ritchson-punches-neighbor/)… this all started Saturday when Alan was riding his green Kawasaki bike through the quiet, well-to-do Nashville suburb. Ronnie claims Alan was flying at excessive speed, revving his engine and disturbing the peace.
>He admits flipping the bird at Alan, and he claims the actor returned the gesture.
>Fast forward to today at around noon … Taylor says Alan came through the neighborhood again, allegedly speeding, and this time with 2 youngsters on their own motor bikes.
>Taylor says he asked Alan, “Can you f**king stop this please,” which is when things allegedly turned physical. Taylor says he went to the cops and reported that Alan punched him in the face and kicked him. Taylor claims Alan then fell off his bike, got back up and tried to run him off.
>Taylor also told cops that a tussle ensued, where Alan allegedly hit Taylor in the back of the head. Taylor accuses Alan of hitting him “at least 4 times” while he was on the ground, which has allegedly left him with bruises and swelling.
>Taylor told cops that Alan rode off, but he claims neighbors saw the whole thing. Taylor tells TMZ that he did not go to the hospital.
>Law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ that there is an investigation stemming from an incident between both these parties, but no arrests have been made.

Why does it feel like a regular occurrence. The children just unfazed on their bikes , the guy who got beaten up just gets up and tries helping with the bike(?)…. What an odd video 😭

I don’t condone violence, but I still need more context other than the dude side of the story before I bring my pitchfork.
But for now, I only have this dude side of the story, and Ritchson’s general reputation as a quiet, mostly nice affable dude, hates Trump and thats it.

Wait, that can’t be Reacher, he isn’t knocking him out or killing him like in the TV series. 😂

TWIL it’s probably just reactive abuse.

That part where he almost hits his kid with the bike, what a fucking idiot.

If its true its a little excessive of a reaction for a neighbor telling you to stop causing a rukus.

I have a theory that we are missing the video where Alan gets pushed off his bike when he is in first gear. Thus is the reason why his bike takes off when he tries to start it back up. His adrenalin is at peak from that fight. Bikers will generally leave the bike in neutral before turning the bike off. I think that didn’t happen and bike turned off possibly from him getting thrown off his bike from his neighbor. I think this video did happen but someone purposely like TMZ edited the video to not show the whole story.

Doesn’t look good but video that starts halfway through a fight with a dropped motorbike almost certainly has a second side to this particular story.

Both sides sure…but riding those bikes through neighborhoods is dick behavior

Any one else would have been arrested. Must be nice to be a rich celebrity that can just attack people.

Reddit is wild. Third hand account of security guard telling off a child for staring at Chappell Roan “wow Chappell is scum, I always hated her and glad I can finally say something”.
Video evidence of a man assaulting someone in front of children “hmm we don’t have the full story maybe the guy deserved it”.

How convenient that the camera person was perfectly placed at the window to catch this unpleasant interaction.

Imagine living in this neighborhood and seeing this grown man wallop another grown man next to green bikes and kids. I would think it was being filmed for television.
