Video of Reacher star allegedly showed him striking a man in what looked like a suburban Tennessee neighborhood
Alan Ritchson, the actor best known for his role in the hit action series Reacher, was filmed allegedly assaulting his neighbor in front of his children.
In a video obtained by TMZ on Sunday, the 43-year-old appeared to strike a man several times as he kneeled on the ground in what looked like a suburban neighborhood in Tennessee. Two children, reported by TMZ to be Ritchson’s, can be seen nearby sitting on motorbikes and watching the incident unfold.
Speaking to the outlet, the alleged victim, Ronnie Taylor, claimed that Ritchson had been riding his motorbike through the neighborhood at high speeds while revving the engine on Saturday. Taylor said he responded with an obscene gesture, which Ritchson allegedly returned, according to TMZ.
Taylor added that on Sunday, Ritchson came back to the neighborhood, this time accompanied by his two children on their own motorbikes. Taylor claimed he told Ritchson, “Can you stop this please?” – and the situation escalated into a physical altercation. He alleged that Ritchson struck him “at least four times”.
