AceShowbiz - Ian Ziering's New Year's Eve seemingly didn't go as planned. Instead of enjoying the holiday weekend, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum got attacked by bikes during a street brawl on Hollywood Blvd.
The incident took place on Sunday, December 31. A video obtained by TMZ showed several men and women riding mini bikes, weaving in and out of traffic. Then, the 59-year-old was seen exiting his car and confronted one of the bikers.
Ian and the biker got into a physical altercation, and things escalated quickly after other bikers began attacking the actor to help their friend. Ian ran across the street to escape the group, but they managed to catch him and threw more punches.
According to TMZ, the brawl ended with Ian getting back in his car and driving off. An official report reportedly has been taken, and it lists Ian as the victim. No arrest has been made since police are still investigating the incident.
KTLA 5, however, claimed that eyewitnesses reported the fight to police, who confirmed to the outlet that officers responded to the scene of the incident. The eyewitnesses also claimed that the bikers drove recklessly in traffic. No injuries were reported.
The ordeal occurred more than a year after Ian finalized his divorce from his then-wife, Erin Ludwig. The former couple, who first announced their split in October 2019, agreed to exercise joint custody over their two children, Mia Loren, 12, and Penna Mae, 10.
The former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant previously blamed "hectic work schedules" for the breakdown of his marriage. He wrote on Instagram, "It is with a heavy heart that I tell you Erin and I are splitting up. With our hectic work schedules we could not be busier, and over the last few years have grown apart."
The "Sharknado" actor went on to praise Erin for being "the best" mother to their two kids and said the former couple intend to "continue to get along" and be "successful" co-parents to their brood. He continued, "She is one of the most incredible women I have ever met and the best mom to our kids. It has come to my attention that things are being written and said to sensationalise a situation that is simply not sensational."
