Los Angeles cops have arrested two minibike ‘gang’ members thought to be involved in a biker brawl involving 90210 actor Ian Ziering.
Five months ago, 60-year-old Zierling and his daughter Mia, 12, were confronted by a gang of mini-bikers on Hollywood Boulevard – which led the actor to exit his car, at which point the confrontation escalated.
LAPD confirmed on Tuesday evening that they had arrested Jacob Esteban Hernandez, a 20-year-old male resident of Rosemead, and Angie Teresa Guizar, a 40-year-old female resident of Los Angeles.
Hernandez was booked for felony vandalism and Guizar was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, TMZ reported.
Authorities reportedly cited videos of the incident, which took place at the end of 2023, as key pieces of evidence in the investigation – but none of the footage directly led them to identify the suspects.

An incident statement from LAPD investigators said that the altercation took place at around 3 pm on New Year’s Eve while Ziering and his daughter were sitting in traffic in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard.
‘The confrontation began between the victim and one of the minibike riders over possible damage to his vehicle,’ the statement said. ‘Three to four additional minibike riders jumped in and assaulted the motorist.’
Now that arrests have been made, the case is being sent to the District Attorney’s office, and it will be decided whether charges will be filed or not.
Ziering shared a moving update with his fans on Instagram the day following the jarring attack.
‘Yesterday, I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes,’ Ziering wrote on Instagram on January 1.
‘While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation.’
‘In an attempt to assess any damage I exited my car. This action, unfortunately, escalated into a physical altercation, which I navigated to protect myself.’
Ziering confirmed that he and his daughter were left ‘unscathed’ – but said that he was concerned about the ‘growing boldness’ of such groups.

He went on to say the brawl highlighted a larger issue of ‘hooliganism’ on the streets and the ‘need for effective law enforcement responses to such behavior.’
‘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,’ Ziering continued in the Instagram caption.
