Russia, which supports Bashar Assad's regime, opposes the US presence in the country and blamed the US military for the incident.
Russia's Defense Ministry said it had updated the US coalition on the route of the Russian military police convoy, and that US forces had tried to block it.
However, the commander of the Central Command of the United States Army, General Frank Mackenzie, said that Russian forces were not supposed to be in this area and accused them of "reckless tactical level" behavior.
He said that despite the effective communication channel between the armies designed to prevent clashes on the ground, the Russian military "did not make any coordination with us" regarding that patrol.
He stressed that the army will take the necessary measures to maintain the safety of the soldiers and their ability to carry out their mission.
After that incident, American forces left the area to prevent the situation from getting worse.
The American forces in Syria are usually accompanied by the Kurdish Syrian democratic forces, with whom they are cooperating in the fight against ISIS remnants in the region.
While there have been several incidents between American and Russian forces in eastern Syria recently, officials said this last month is the most worrying.
