On Instagram he often shares photos of his dogs, sunsets, wine, his wife and his motorcycle. 

On Tuesday police shared with the Daily Mail that they would not be charging the Reacher actor in the Sunday altercation with neighbor Taylor.

The officers in charge of the case said the Hollywood star acted in self defense when he punched the neighbor and then told him to stand down.

That is likely because in a new bodycam video taken by Ritchson and shared to showed Taylor initiating a physical fight with Ritchson as he pushed the actor off his Kawasaki motorcycle after running into the street.

The star was with his two children when the incident occurred during the afternoon.

The Brentwood Police Dept said to the Daily Mail on Tuesday, 'The Brentwood Police Department, in coordination with the Williamson County District Attorney’s Office, has concluded its investigation into the incident involving Alan Ritchson and Ronnie Taylor on March 22, in Brentwood TN.

The officers in charge of the case said the Hollywood star acted in self defense when he punched the neighbor and then told him to stand down

'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 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.

Ritchson appeared to then use his fists to hit Taylor in the face several times. After Ritchson hit him, he demands he stay down.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Ritchson and Taylor for further comment. 

TMZ has obtained an image of Taylor with bruises and cuts to his face after the fight.
