HOLLYWOOD (KTLA) — Two people have been arrested in connection with a brawl on Hollywood Boulevard that involved actor Ian Ziering, best known for his role in “Beverly Hills 90210,” on New Year’s Eve, authorities announced Tuesday.

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

Much of the chaotic confrontation was captured on cellphone cameras with video of the brawl involving the “Sharknado” actor first being released by TMZ.  

The footage showed Ziering confronting and shoving one of the apparent mini-bike gang members who was blocking his vehicle before three to four additional bikers jumped into the fray, one of them throwing a punch that appeared to hit the actor in the face. 

“One of the mini-bike riders is captured swinging an object at the victim, nearly striking him,” the Los Angeles Police Department said in a news release. “After the assault, the mini-bike riders 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 off and leaves the scene. 

Neither Ziering nor his daughter were injured during the incident, police added.

On Jan. 1, the now 60-year-old actor addressed the incident on social media.  

“While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation,” Ziering posted to Instagram. He went on to describe the incident as “hooliganism” and called for “effective law enforcement” to help solve what he thinks is a larger issue. 

“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 stated. 

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

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

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

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