‘90210′ actor Ian Ziering says he was attacked by people on minibikes in Hollywood

Actor Ian Ziering claims he was attacked by minibike riders in Hollywood on New Year’s Eve.

Several media outlets have reported on the alleged attack that happened at about 3 p.m. Sunday near the TCL Chinese Theater.

Police were called to the scene on Hollywood Boulevard, following reports that a fight broke out after the group on the minibikes was driving recklessly, KTLA reported.

TMZ has a video of the incident that shows Ziering pushing one of the riders, who was in front of the “Beverly Hills 90210″ actor’s SUV.

The push then ended in a fight with Ziering eventually running across the street, escaping from the group.

Ziering later released a statement on Instagram explaining what happened, writing, “Yesterday, I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes. While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation. In an attempt to assess any damage I exited my car. This action, unfortunately, escalated into a physical altercation, which I navigated to protect myself.”
