The former “Beverly Hills 90210” star Ian Ziering took to social media on Monday to reveal that he was brutally attacked by a biker gang in Los Angeles over the weekend in a horrifying incident that was captured on camera.
Ziering Attacked In Los Angeles
TMZ reported that Ziering, 59, was driving on Hollywood Boulevard with his 12 year-old daughter on New Year’s Eve when he was suddenly attacked by a gang of bikers, with the entire altercation being caught on camera. Though Ziering was surrounded by bystanders when he was attacked, notice that nobody stepped in to assist the actor as he attempted to fight off his assailants.
The Los Angeles Police Department told KTLA that officers responded to the area at Hollywood Blvd. and Highland Ave. around 3 p.m. local time on Sunday after receiving “reports of a fight that broke out after the group of bikers were driving recklessly.”
This incident remains under investigation, and while a police report has been filed listing Ziering as a victim, no arrests have been made at the time of this writing.

Ziering Responds
Ziering took to Instagram the next day to give his thoughts on his ordeal.
“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,” Ziering wrote. “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.”
After assuring his fans that he and his daughter escaped “completely unscathed,” Ziering touched on his concerns 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,” he explained. “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,” he continued.
“We must address the underlying issues that lead to such disruptive behavior and ensure that our streets are safe for everyone,” Ziering added. “I urge city officials and law enforcement to take decisive action against such lawlessness and provide the necessary resources to prevent future occurrences.”
Ziering concluded his post by thanking his “family, friends, and fans” for their support.
“It’s in challenging moments like these that the strength and unity of our community are most vital,” he wrote. “Happy new year.”

California Crime
This is just more evidence of crime being completely out of control, not only in Los Angeles, but also all over the liberal-run state of California as a whole. If the people of California want to do something to stop this, they might want to start voting easy-on-crime leftists out of office.
Please join us in saying a prayer for Ziering and his daughter as they try to recover from the trauma of this ordeal.
