A longer video, shared on social media and first reported by TMZ, appears to show how the altercation between the Reacher and Blue Mountain State star and his neighbor began. The clip has not been fully verified, but it lines up with details already reported.
The video shows the neighbor, identified as Ronnie Taylor, stepping into the street and blocking Ritchson and his kids while they were riding motorbikes.

That's where things escalate.
"You threatened my safety," Ritchson says in the clip, while Taylor fires back about alleged speeding in the neighborhood. The exchange gets heated quickly, with both sides shouting.
Then it turns physical.
The video appears to show Taylor pushing Ritchson and his bike more than once. Ritchson then shoves Taylor to the ground and begins throwing punches and kicks as his kids watch nearby.
"Stay down," Ritchson can be heard saying.

Taylor later told TMZ he pushed Ritchson because he felt unsafe, claiming the actor then "kicked the crap" out of him. He also shared photos of facial injuries.
Sources close to Ritchson have maintained that he did not start the confrontation, saying he was knocked off his bike before responding.
Law enforcement has confirmed an active investigation. No charges have been filed.
Ritchson has declined to comment in detail, citing that investigation, though he did post a cryptic quote on social media shortly after.
