Reacher star Alan Ritchson will not face charges for beating up his neighbor during a heated altercation outside of his home.
On Sunday, a video showed Ritchson punching his neighbor several times after an argument.
The neighbor went on to admit that he pushed Ritchson off his bike because he felt the actor was being reckless while riding on his motorcycle in the neighborhood.
“I was trying to get him to stop revvin’ and speedin’ through the neighborhood. He was on his motorcycle, loud as hell, and he had his kids out there too, ridin’ around. It was dangerous.So I got out in front of his bike and blocked him, and I pushed him.”
“I did push him because he was coming towards me on his, on his bike.”
“He did it again for a second time. I pushed him a second time, and I think the second time he got off his bike and kicked the crap outta me.”
