Alan Ritchson was armed with a bodycam when he allegedly got into a fistfight with his neighbor Ronnie Taylor in Tennessee on Sunday.
The footage, which was shared on TikTok and can be seen on TMZ, gives a broader view of what really happened between the two men before the altercation turned bloody.
A visibly angry Taylor was filmed approaching Reacher star Ritchson and his two children when they were riding their motorcycles down a suburban street.
Taylor is then seen leaving his property, crossing a sidewalk and walking into the middle of the street where the Hollywood actor, 43, was riding his green Kawasaki bike.
At one point Taylor allegedly stepped in front of the star’s motorcycle with an aggressive legs-apart stance to block him from driving down the street.
That appeared to anger Ritchson, who then laid down his motorcycle and approached Taylor.

On the tense clip, Taylor is heard lambasting Ritchson for riding ‘like a f***ing lunatic’ as he expressed his concern for the other children in the neighborhood.
The actor then told his neighbor that he was out of his ‘f***ing mind’ and asked if he had been drinking, the bodycam video also showed.
Ritchson then told Taylor that he should have ‘run him over’ with his motorcycle as the neighbor stepped out onto the street.
The star then picks up his motorcycle, gets on it, places his helmet back on and revs up the engine over and over, which appears to infuriate Taylor.
Taylor could then be seen pushing the actor and his motorcycle onto the street twice.
Ritchson appeared to then use his fists to hit Taylor’s face several times. After he has hit him, he demands he stay down.
TMZ has obtained an image of Taylor with bruises and cuts to his face after the fight.

The police are investigating the fight.
A Brentwood Tennessee Police Department spokesman told the Daily Mail: ‘There is an active investigation, and no arrests have been made. There will be a police report available when the investigation has concluded.’
The Daily Mail has also reached out to Ritchson’s representative for comment and has yet to hear back.
Ritchson shares three sons with wife Catherine, whom he married in 2006, after they met while taking a dance class at college.
Ritchson’s other television credits include Smallville, Blue Mountain State, Blood Drive, and Titans.
As for movie roles, he played Raphael in the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot and its 2016 sequel, and has appeared in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), Lazer Team (2015), and Fast X (2023).
In 2024, Ritchson revealed that he had attempted suicide in 2019, and said a vision of his sons ultimately convinced him to continue living.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ritchson revealed he had become incredibly depressed and was forced to finish editing his directorial debut, Dark Web: Cicada 3301, from bed.
After the suicide attempt, he sought help from a doctor who diagnosed him with bipolar disorder.

‘I was diagnosed as bipolar right after. Deep down, I was comforted to know, “OK, there’s a name for this.”‘
A friend then suggested he try MDMA therapy with his wife Catherine.
‘I swear to God, the biggest light bulb went off, and it rewired my brain in the best way. MDMA is a proven therapy to treat PTSD in veterans, and it’s something that can work in cognitive therapy settings.’
The therapy session made him reflect on his existential journey and conclude that his purpose is ‘to make the world a better place and serve others.’
Ritchson’s epiphany prompted him to seek out more fulfilling opportunities in his career, ultimately leading him to the TV series Reacher.
During his interview, Ritchson also claimed he had been sexually assaulted while working in the modeling industry.
