Actor Ian Ziering got into an altercation with a mini-bike mob on New Year’s Eve on Hollywood Blvd. in Los Angeles.
Video shows the actor who is known for Sharknado and Beverly Hills 90210 getting in a fight with the mob.
Apparently, the mini-bike mob was weaving in and out of traffic and may have hit Ziering’s car. The actor then gets out of his car and a fight ensues.
One biker rams his bike into Ziering, and Zeiring runs across the street with the bikers in pursuit. Ziering can be seen kicking and pushing as they attack him.
TMZ reports Ian Ziering ended up getting back into his car and driving away and that the bikers also drove away. The police are said to be investigating and that Ziering is listed as the victim in a report.
After the incident, Ziering posted a response on social media.
“Yesterday, I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes. While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation. In an attempt to assess any damage I exited my car. This action, unfortunately, escalated into a physical altercation, which I navigated to protect myself,” he said.
Ziering added, “I am relieved to report that my daughter and I are both completely unscathed, but the incident has left me deeply concerned about the growing boldness of such groups who disrupt public safety and peace.”

I am relieved to report that my daughter and I are both completely unscathed, but the incident has left me deeply concerned about the growing boldness of such groups who disrupt public safety and peace. This situation highlights a larger issue of hooliganism on our streets and the need for effective law enforcement responses to such behavior. As a citizen and a parent, I find it unacceptable that groups can freely engage in this kind of behavior, causing fear and chaos, while the response from authorities seems insufficient.
I have always been an advocate for standing up against intimidation and misconduct, and this incident reinforces my belief in the importance of personal and community safety. We must address the underlying issues that lead to such disruptive behavior and ensure that our streets are safe for everyone. I urge city officials and law enforcement to take decisive action against such lawlessness and provide the necessary resources to prevent future occurrences.
I am thankful for the support of my family, friends, and fans during this time. It’s in challenging moments like these that the strength and unity of our community are most vital. Happy new year.
