Alan Ritchson, star of the hit television series Reacher, is in a fresh controversy following a fight with his neighbour in a Nashville suburb.

In an exclusive report, TMZ says the hulking movie star got into a fist fight on Sunday, allegedly beating the hell out of his neighbour in Tennessee.

The altercation was captured in a video and shows Ritchson pummelling the man as two children, possibly the actor’s, watch while sitting on their motorbikes.

Ronnie Taylor, the alleged victim, disclosed to TMZ that it all started on Saturday when the Reacher star was riding his green Kawasaki bike through the quiet neighbourhood.

According to Taylor, he lost his cool with the 6-foot-4 Hollywood hunk, with the latter returning the favour.

On Sunday afternoon, Taylor alleged that Ritchson came through the neighbourhood again, allegedly speeding with his two young kids on their own motorbikes.

Taylor added that things turned physical when he told Ritchson, “Can you f**king stop this please?”

He reportedly reported to the police that the actor punched him in the face and kicked him, adding that Ritchson got back up and tried to run him off.

Taylor says in the ensuing scuffle, Ritchson hit him “at least 4 times” while he was on the ground, leaving him with bruises and swelling.

TMZ reports that law enforcement revealed an investigation has been launched, with no arrests made.

Furthermore, Ritchson has yet to speak on the incident.
