Los Angeles, California – A man and a woman were taken into custody on Tuesday in connection with an assault on actor Ian Ziering of “Beverly Hills, 90210” on New Year’s Eve. The incident occurred in Hollywood and involved a group of individuals riding minibikes, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
Authorities executed search warrants at two residences in Los Angeles, leading to the arrests of 20-year-old Jacob Esteban Hernandez and 40-year-old Angie Teresa Guizar. The LAPD stated that the assault and car vandalism incident took place on December 31 in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue, involving at least four members of a minibike gang.
Ziering, known for his roles in “90210” and “Sharknado,” recounted the event on Instagram, describing how he was stuck in traffic with his daughter when the minibike riders approached aggressively. The situation escalated into a physical altercation, captured in videos posted on social media, leading to the identification of the suspects by witnesses and investigators.
During the confrontation, one individual was seen swinging an object at Ziering, nearly striking him. Following the assault, the minibike riders vandalized the actor’s vehicle while his 10-year-old child was present in the front seat. Fortunately, neither Ziering nor his child sustained serious injuries during the incident.
Hernandez was charged with felony vandalism and given a $50,000 bail, while Guizar faced charges of assault with a deadly weapon and had her bail set at $30,000. The case is set to be reviewed by the county prosecutor’s office for further determination of charges.
