Reacher star Alan Ritchson’s fist fight with neighbor caught in new bodycam footage

Police are reportedly investigating the altercation, which appears to have begun over complaints about Ritchson’s motorcycle driving
Body camera footage has been released which appears to show Reacher star Alan Ritchson involved in an altercation with a neighbor.

The footage, which comes from Ritchson’s own camera, shows the 43-year-old actor’s perspective as he rides his green Kawasaki motorcycle through a suburban neighborhood in Brentwood, Tennessee.

A neighbor, who has been identified by TMZ as Ronnie Taylor, can be seen stepping into the road to block Ritchson.

After stopping his bike, Ritchson can be heard saying: “Are you f***ing kidding me, bro?” and appears to push Taylor to the ground.

Taylor gets up and points his finger in Ritchson’s face, accusing him of “driving around this neighborhood like a f***ing lunatic!”
Two of Ritchson’s sons can also be seen on motorcycles, stopped watching the altercation play out.

When Ritchson attempts to drive away, Taylor appears to push him off his bike.

This leads to a physical fight, as Ritchson knocks Taylor to the ground and says: “Are you f***ing out of your goddamn mind?” and then instructs him to: “Stay down!”
The Independent has approached Ritchson’s representatives, Taylor and the Brentwood Police Department for comment.

Taylor told TMZ that he reported Ritchson to the police, alleging that the actor struck him several times.

Authorities are reportedly investigating, but no arrests have yet been made.

North Dakota-born Ritchson first came to prominence with a role in Smallville .

He is best known for playing Jack Reacher in the Amazon Prime action series Reacher .

He recently starred in the Netflix movie War Machine .

In 2024, he revealed he auditioned for the part of Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe but lost out because he didn’t take the audition “seriously.”
“I was like, ‘They’ll throw me the part if I look like the guy; nobody really cares about acting,'” Ritchson told Men’s Health .

The actor said the Marvel casting team rejected him because they thought he hadn’t shown that he had “the craft.”
Ritchson found success with Reacher, which has received critical acclaim and was the most streamed television series in the week the first season was released.

“I had about 50 offers the weekend after Season one of Reacher opened,” Ritchson said.

“I knew my life had changed.”
