globalnews.ca:

Ian Ziering is thankful he and his family were left “completely unscathed” after the Beverly Hills, 90210 actor was filmed in a street brawl with several bikers in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve.

In an Instagram post shared Monday night, Ziering, 59, said he “experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes.”

His 12-year-old daughter Mia was present in his vehicle when the scuffle occurred.

He said he was stuck in traffic when his car was “aggressively” approached by one of the riders. In what he described as an “unsettling confrontation,” Ziering said he exited his vehicle to assess any damage.

After leaving the driver’s seat, Ziering was recorded exchanging blows with an unidentified person who had just climbed off their e-bike. The two fought, but the biker was forced to the ground by Ziering. Quickly, three other helmeted bikers joined the altercation before chasing the actor across a busy street and to a nearby sidewalk.

Once there, he and the bikers continued to kick and punch one another. The actor was eventually able to flee, and the fight came to an end. The bikers left the area on their vehicles.

After the incident, Ziering was seen comforting his daughter, who was in tears. Video of the brawl was released by TMZ.

Ziering detailed the incident in a video post featuring a selfie overlayed with white text — and set to the song A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay.
