In the new photos … Ronnie is displaying a huge shiner on his left eye, with deep scabs on his forehead, and puffy cheeks.
He tells us he was treated for multiple contusions and other injuries at the emergency room until 1 AM Monday after Sunday’s assault. Ronnie also says he was given a head and neck scan, revealing he has a suspected concussion, for which he’s taking pain meds, including Tylenol.
As we first reported … Ronnie told TMZ Alan was riding his motorcycle in a dangerous manner, ripping through their neighborhood like a speed demon, with his two young sons on their own motorbikes.
Ronnie said he decided to put a stop to it by walking out in front of Alan as the actor was zipping by on his bike. He said he ordered Alan to stop driving like a maniac, sparking their physical confrontation, captured on video by a neighbor filming with a phone camera.

Police are still investigating … no arrests have been made.
