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.

Celebrity criminal defense attorney and founder of Zuckerman Legal Group, Seth J. Zuckerman, exclusively spoke with Page Six after authorities determined that the actor will not face criminal charges after acting in self-defense in his Tennessee brawl with Ronnie Taylor.

“It is certainly possible that his neighbor will file a civil lawsuit against him for his medical bills and pain and suffering, and possible punitive damages,” Zuckerman said.Alan Ritchson could still face a court battle against his neighbor, several lawyers told Page Six.The “Reacher “star won’t face criminal charges after his brawl against Ronnie Taylor .‘Reacher’ star Alan Ritchson’s new bodycam footage shows how brutal fight with neighbor began“Despite the police declaring that Ritchson was acting in self-defense, a civil case can be brought because it requires a lower burden of proof — preponderance of evidence— whereas a criminal case requires beyond a reasonable doubt,” he added. The attorney noted that law enforcement’s decision not to pursue criminal charges does not prevent a civil lawsuit. “However, if the victim is found partially at fault, which is likely the case here, the potential compensation would be reduced,” Zuckerman noted, adding, “Ritchson can file counterclaims against the neighbor, but it doesn’t appear that Ritchson was harmed in any way.”Bryan M. Sullivan, a partner at Early Sullivan Wright Gizer & McRae LLP, believes Ritchson and Taylor may agree to mutual protective orders. “In America, anyone can sue anyone for anything,” Sullivan said. “The neighbor can sue him for assault and battery, but, based on what I’ve read, Alan has a strong affirmative defense of self-defense and defending his children, and Alan could also sue the neighbor for assault and battery.“Ordinarily, the chances of a civil case being filed are very high. … But I wouldn’t be surprised if there are some behind-the-scenes demand letters written by a lawyer seeking compensation for Taylor’s injuries and emotional distress,” Doll said. “Whether that case makes it to court is anyone’s guess, but given how aggressive Ritchson’s actions were — in my view in appropriately so – I suspect he will be hearing from a lawyer soon,” he added.“It is certainly possible that his neighbor will file a civil lawsuit against him for his medical bills and pain and suffering, and possible punitive damages,” Seth J. Zuckerman said of Ritchson .The dispute over Ritchson’s noisy motorbike, was captured in harrowing bodycam footage showing the Hollywood star punching Taylor in the head multiple times. Two young boys — presumed to be Ritchson’s sons — were seen standing nearby as the tussle unfolded.“After reviewing available evidence, including video footage and witness statements, authorities determined that no criminal charges will be pursued. Mr. Ritchson’s actions were found to be in self-defense,” Brentwood Police Captain Steven Pepin The actor wrapped production of the Amazon Prime show’s Season 4 on Wednesday.“This is, without a doubt the most gripping season yet.
