'Someone's Going to Get Hurt'
Alan Ritchson shared a cryptic message about an 'enemy' hours after a video of his dispute made headlines.
"When I was cleaning my bike outside my house once or twice, and I walked in front of him and told him: 'You've got to stop. Someone's going to get hurt.' And it escalated quite quickly from there," Taylor continued, noting he didn't recognize Ritchson when he first attempted to stop him from maneuvering his bike at such a fast pace.
"I did push him because he was coming towards me. And he kicked the c--- out of me," Ritchson's Nashville neighbor claimed. "I don't wish the guy any malice or ill will but we don't need people riding through neighborhoods like this. I decided I was going to take a stand. It's going to end up way worse than what it could've been."
