Mini-bikers arrested after fight with actor Ian Ziering on Hollywood Boulevard

Two people were arrested in connection with a fight on Hollywood Boulevard involving actor Ian Ziering, best known for his role on “Beverly Hills 90210,” on New Year’s Eve last year, authorities said Tuesday.

The fight broke out near Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue around 3 p.m., after a confrontation between Ziering and a member of a minibike gang over possible damage to the actor’s vehicle.

Much of the chaotic confrontation was captured on cell phone cameras, with video of the scuffle involving the “Sharknado” actor first published by TMZ.

The footage showed Ziering confronting and shoving one of the minibike gang members who blocked his vehicle before three or four more bikers jumped into the fray, with one throwing a punch that appeared to hit the actor in the face.

“One of the minibike drivers was captured throwing an object at the victim, nearly hitting him,” Los Angeles police said in a press release. “After the attack, the minibike drivers vandalized the motorist’s vehicle while his 10-year-old child remained in the front seat.”

In another video, Ziering is seen consoling his daughter in the street when the group eventually backs away and leaves the scene.

Neither Ziering nor her daughter were injured in the incident, police added.

On January 1, the now 60-year-old actor spoke about the incident on social networks.

“While stuck in traffic, my car was aggressively approached by one of these bikers, which led to a disturbing confrontation,” Ziering posted on Instagram.

He later called the incident “hooliganism” and called for “effective law enforcement” to help solve what he sees as a larger problem.

“We must tackle the underlying issues that lead to such disruptive behavior and ensure 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 events,” Ziering said.

During their investigation, LAPD Hollywood Division detectives used video and additional information gathered from witnesses to identify two of the suspects, now identified as 20-year-old Rosemead resident Jacob Esteban Hernandez and Angie Teresa Guizar, 40, resident of Los Angeles.

Both were taken into custody around 6 a.m. on May 21 after officers with the LAPD Metro Division served arrest warrants at two separate residences.

Hernandez was booked for felony vandalism, with bail set at $50,000. Guizar was jailed on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, with bail set at $30,000.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact LAPD Detective Douglas Hall at 213-927-2971. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call LA Regional Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or leave tips online at www.lacrimestoppers.org.
