Shocking pH๏τos reveal damage to Ian Ziering’s $100,000 Mercedes after terrifying attack by bikers while 90210 star was driving with his 10-year-old daughter on Hollywood Boulevard

Shocking pH๏τos reveal the damage to Ian Ziering’s $100,000 Mercedes after bikers attacked him while he was driving with his 10-year-old daughter. 

The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, 59, was seen in a video clip as he clashed with one mini-bike rider, after which he fended off attacks from multiple other riders in the group around 3pm on Sunday. 

His grey GLE SUV Mercedes, which now sits idle in his driveway, was left shattered and slightly dented on the drivers’ side windshield.  The side-view mirror was also badly cracked. 

Ziering, who played the role of Steve Sanders on the Fox series from 1990 to 2000, took to Instagram on Monday to share details of the ‘alarming incident’ and updated fans on the status of his 10-year-old daughter, Penna, who was seated in his car at the time of the altercation.

‘I am relieved to report that my daughter and I are both completely unscathed, but the incident has left me deeply concerned about the growing boldness of such groups who disrupt public safety and peace,’ Ziering said in his post.

The violent incident took place on Hollywood Boulevard as four bikers threw punches and kicks at Ziering before he sprinted across the street. 

‘While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation,’ he said in his social media post. 

‘In an attempt to ᴀssess any damage I exited my car. This action, unfortunately, escalated into a physical altercation, which I navigated to protect myself.’

While dozens of onlookers were gathered at the popular spot on New Year’s Eve, no one appeared to intervene on Ziering’s behalf in the incident.

It was not immediately clear if anyone was arrested in connection with the incident as of Sunday evening, TMZ reported, noting that ‘an official report’ lists the Newark, New Jersey-born actor ‘as the victim’ in the incident. 

Police said they are probing the incident and communicating with the people involved. 

‘This situation highlights a larger issue of hooliganism on our streets and the need for effective law enforcement responses to such behavior.’

‘As a citizen and a parent, I find it unacceptable that groups can freely engage in this kind of behavior, causing fear and chaos, while the response from authorities seems insufficient,’ he continued in his post, before urging law enforcement to ‘take decisive action.’

Ziering took to Instagram on Monday to share details of the 'alarming incident' and update fans on the status of his 10-year-old daughter, Penna, who was seated in his car at the time

‘I have always been an advocate for standing up against intimidation and misconduct, and this incident reinforces my belief in the importance of personal and community safety.’

He concluded: ‘I am thankful for the support of my family, friends, and fans during this time. 

‘It’s in challenging moments like these that the strength and unity of our community are most vital. Happy new year.’

Ziering shares equal custody of Penna, as well as 12-year-old daughter Mia, with ex-wife Erin Ludwig. The former couple wed in 2010, separated in 2019, with their divorce finalized in 2022.

On Monday, Erin, a registered nurse who still uses the last name Ziering on social media, took to Instagram to break her silence on the altercation. 

‘I have over 150 messages about this incident in 24hrs and I am not responding due to [Ian and Penna’s] privacy,’ Erin said in response to her ex’s post. 

‘As I appreciate the need for info by everyone, please understand respectfully and if needing information please reach out to the direct people involved.’

In another slide shared via Instagram Stories, the mother-of-two re-shared her daughter Mia’s social media post.

Mia’s note corrected a reporting error — ‘Guys, I’m fine. tmz literally lied. I was not the one in the car. It was Penna,’ the pre-teen wrote.

She continued, ‘Thanks for checking it but it was misinformation and also very embarrᴀssing. And it’s clearly Penna. like huh.’

Her mother reiterated over on her own page, ‘Also please respect my daughters privacy. The wrong one was named.’

A source told DailyMail.com that Ziering is ‘doing okay’ after the incident.
