Beverly Hills, 90210 star Ian Ziering has opened up about a harrowing encounter with a biker gang on New Year's Eve in Los Angeles. The actor took to Instagram to share details of the incident and express his concerns about the increasing boldness of such groups, emphasizing the need for effective law enforcement responses.

In a viral video, Ziering can be seen caught in a physical altercation with several bikers on Hollywood Blvd. The incident unfolded as the actor found himself stuck in traffic and was aggressively approached by one of the riders. In an effort to assess any potential damage, Ziering exited his car, but the situation quickly escalated into a physical confrontation.

Ziering, 59, recounted the incident on social media, stating,

“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.”

The actor went on to highlight the broader issue of hooliganism on the streets and underscored the imperative for a stringent law enforcement response to address such behavior. Expressing his dissatisfaction with the authorities' response, Ziering stated,

“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.”
