TENNESSEE — Actor Alan Ritchson, known for playing Arthur Curry in “Smallville,” has been involved in a neighborhood altercation that was captured on video and circulated widely on social media.
Footage obtained by TMZ shows Ritchson striking his neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, while two children, believed to be Ritchson’s sons, watched from nearby motorbikes.
Taylor said the dispute began over the weekend after Ritchson allegedly disturbed the neighborhood with his noisy motorbike. According to Taylor, he first responded by flashing the middle finger, and Ritchson returned the gesture.
Taylor later claimed that Ritchson sped through the area again, prompting him to ask the actor to stop. Ritchson allegedly punched Taylor “in the back of his head” multiple times while he was on the ground.
As of press time, Ritchson’s representatives have not commented on the incident. In addition to “Smallville,” Ritchson currently appears in the TV series Titans and Reacher.
