Ian Ziering breaks silence after ‘unsettling’ biker gang attack

Ian Ziering is speaking out following the “alarming” biker attack he experienced on New Year’s Eve.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum, 59, took to Instagram about the incident on Monday.

“Yesterday, I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes,” he wrote. “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.”

“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.”

In a video of the altercation obtained by TMZ, Ziering can be seen getting into a fight with several bikers on Hollywood Blvd. on Sunday.

At one point, multiple bikers aggressively approached the actor as he tried to run across the street to get away. He later was spotted consoling his crying daughter Mia, 12, who was in the car with him at the time.

“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,” the actor continued on Monday.

“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 went on. “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.”

Ziering concluded his message by stating he’s “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,” he added. “Happy new year.”
