New footage of Alan Ritchson’s wild brawl with his neighbor has been released online.

The “Reacher” actor seemingly caught the horrifying incident with a bodycam strapped to his chest.

The three-minute-long video was shared on TikTok Tuesday — though Page Six is working to confirm the validity of the clip.

The footage begins with the neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, jumping into the middle of the road to block Ritchson and his kids from driving their motorcycles, which caused the actor to fall off the vehicle.

Ritchson, 43, then gets into a verbal fight with Taylor, who could be heard saying, “There’s kids running around here!”

As the pair continues to argue, Ritchson gets back on his motorcycle and revs the engine multiple times before Taylor pushes the bike and Ritchson twice.

Ritchson then gets off the motorcycle and shoves Taylor to the ground, the video shows.

The actor kicks and punches Taylor as his two kids watch from their motorcycles, before he drives off.

Taylor told Ritchson he was riding “like a f–king lunatic” during their fight, which took place over the weekend on his street in Tennessee.

In response, Ritchson curses at Taylor and says he was out of his “f–king mind.”

Ritchson also asks Taylor if he was drinking and says he should’ve run him over.

Law enforcement sources confirmed to TMZ that there is an active investigation into the incident. No arrests have been made.

Taylor shared his side of the story to TMZ, claiming that he demanded Ritchson and two of his three sons to stop their alleged motorbike speeding and engine revving before someone “got hurt.”

“I did push him because he was coming towards me on his bike,” Taylor admitted, adding that he pushed Ritchson “a second time,” which led the actor to “kick the crap” out of his neighbor.

“He hit me in the back of my head [and] I went to the ground and covered myself,” Taylor said.

Sources close to Ritchson told TMZ he did not instigate the fight, as he was allegedly pushed off his bike twice by the “really aggressive” neighbor before they duked it out.

The “Smallville” alum refused to discuss Sunday’s fight when speaking with the Daily Mail earlier that same day.

“I can’t answer questions about that right now,” Ritchson told the outlet. “There’s an active investigation.”

The day after the incident, Ritchson posted a cryptic quote on Instagram by Napoleon Bonaparte that read, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

Ritchson’s rep has not responded to Page Six’s requests for comment.
