Los Angeles police have arrested two individuals in connection with a New Year’s Eve assault on “Beverly Hills, 90210” actor Ian Ziering. The incident occurred when Ziering was in his car with one of his young daughters and was confronted by a group of people on minibikes near Hollywood and Highland.

The assault and car vandalism altercation involved at least four members of a minibike gang and was reported on December 31st. Ziering, known for his roles in “90210” and “Sharknado,” stated in an Instagram post that he was stuck in traffic when the minibikers approached aggressively. The situation escalated into a physical altercation, but Ziering was able to protect himself and his daughter.
