'At least he fought back': Internet lauds 'BH 90210' star Ian Ziering after he was attacked by bikers during street brawl
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Actor Ian Ziering, best known for playing Steve Sanders on the 90s teen drama 'Beverly Hills, 90210', was viciously attacked by a biker gang in a shocking street brawl on New Year's Eve in Hollywood.
The chaotic incident, captured on video obtained by TMZ, shows Ziering courageously fighting back against his helmeted attackers before escaping to safety in his car.
Ian Ziering exited his car and swung at one of the bikers
The incident began when a group of bikers riding mini-motorized bikes surrounded Ziering's vehicle on Hollywood Boulevard, the famed strip located in the heart of Tinseltown. Video shows one biker riding aggressively close to the front of Ziering's car, nearly colliding with the vehicle.
It remains unclear what prompted the confrontation, but tensions boiled over when Ziering exited his car and swung at the biker nearly causing an accident. This appeared to trigger a violent retaliation from the gang of riders, who began encircling the actor while yelling threats.
Ian Ziering boldly fought back against the bikers
Despite being outnumbered, Ziering courageously fought back against his attackers. After punching the first biker who nearly hit his car, the actor grappled with another helmeted assailant, seeming to knock him to the ground.
This only further enraged the mob, who began chasing Ziering as he fled across the busy street. Four bikers viciously attacked the actor, throwing punches while attempting to trip him. Ziering bravely continued resisting, at one point gripped in a hold by a biker clinging to his back.
Shockingly, the entire incident took place in broad daylight surrounded by witnesses and pedestrians, none of whom intervened to help Ziering. After finally breaking free from the bikers' grips, the rattled actor returned to his car and drove off. The LAPD was not called to the scene and no arrests have been made yet.
