'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. Although a potential reckless endangerment charge was considered, Mr. Ritchson declined to pursue charges.
'With the agreement of the District Attorney’s Office, the case is now closed, and no further action will be taken.'
The footage from the bodycam gives a broader view of what really happened between the two men before the altercation turned bloody.
A visibly angry Taylor was filmed approaching Reacher star Ritchson, 43, and his two young children when they were riding their motorcycles down a suburban street.
Taylor is then seen leaving his property, crossing a sidewalk and walking into the middle of the street where the Hollywood actor was riding his green Kawasaki bike.
At one point Taylor allegedly stepped in front of the star's motorcycle with an aggressive legs-apart stance to block him from driving down the street.
That appeared to anger Ritchson, who then laid down his motorcycle and approached Taylor.

In the tense clip, Taylor is heard lambasting Ritchson for riding 'like a f***ing lunatic' as he expressed his concern for the other children in the neighborhood.
The actor then told his neighbor that he was out of his 'f***ing mind' and asked if he had been drinking, the bodycam video also showed.
Ritchson then told Taylor that he should have 'run him over' with his motorcycle as the neighbor stepped out onto the street.
The star then picks up his motorcycle, gets on it, places his helmet back on and revs up the engine over and over, which appears to infuriate Taylor.
Taylor could then be seen pushing the actor and his motorcycle onto the street twice.

After the suicide attempt, he sought help from a doctor who diagnosed him with bipolar disorder.
'I was diagnosed as bipolar right after. Deep down, I was comforted to know, "OK, there's a name for this."'
A friend then suggested he try MDMA therapy with his wife Catherine. 'I swear to God, the biggest light bulb went off, and it rewired my brain in the best way. MDMA is a proven therapy to treat PTSD in veterans, and it’s something that can work in cognitive therapy settings.'
The therapy session made him reflect on his existential journey and conclude that his purpose is 'to make the world a better place and serve others.' Ritchson's epiphany prompted him to seek out more fulfilling opportunities in his career, ultimately leading him to the TV series Reacher.
