LOS ANGELES — Two members of a minibike gang have been arrested in the New Year’s Eve attack on actor Ian Ziering.
Hernandez is facing a felony vandalism charge while Guizar is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon.
The LAPD did not name Ziering in the incident but he spoke out about it in January when video of the event went viral, calling it “hooliganism on our streets,” KCAL reported
The “Beverly Hills 90210″ actor was in his car with his daughter on Hollywood Boulevard on Dec. 31, 2023, when he said he had an interaction with a member of the minibike gang. Ziering got out of his vehicle to check for damage when police said four members of the group attacked him. Ziering was seen on video pushing one of the bikers before four of them closed in on the actor and eventually chased him across the street.
Police said the gang also vandalized Ziering’s car while his 10-year-old daughter was still inside.
Neither Ziering nor his daughter were injured, People magazine reported.
Witnesses helped police identify Hernandez and Guizar, KCAL reported.
Hernandez is being held on $50,000 bail while Guizar is held on $30,000 bail.
The LAPD said, “This case will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration.”
