00:04Boulevard in Los Angeles. The Beverly Hills 90210 star wrote on Instagram,
00:09Yesterday I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on minibikes.
00:14While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to
00:19an unsettling confrontation. He continued, In an attempt to assess any damage, I exited my car.
00:24This action unfortunately escalated into a physical altercation, which I navigated to
00:28protect myself. Ziering said he and his daughter, who was with him at the time, emerged from the
00:32incident unharmed. But footage of the confrontation, obtained by TMZ, indicated the actor having to
00:38fight off multiple bikers before reaching safety. The actor said the incident left him, quote,
00:42Deeply concerned about the growing boldness of such groups who disrupt public safety and peace.
00:47The situation highlights a larger issue of hooliganism on our streets and the need for
00:51effective law enforcement responses to such behavior. Representatives for the Los Angeles
00:56Police Department could not be contacted for comment on Ziering's run-in with the bikes and to
01:00indicate whether an incident report had been filed. Ziering added, As a citizen and a parent,
01:04I find it unacceptable that groups can freely engage in this kind of behavior, causing fear and chaos
01:09while the response from authorities seems insufficient. I have always been an advocate for standing up
01:13against intimidation and misconduct, and this incident reinforces my belief in the importance
01:18of personal and community safety. For more on this story, go to THR.com. This is the Hollywood Reporter News.
