2 people have been arrested in a minibike gang attack on “90210” actor Ian Ziering in Hollywood

A man and a woman were arrested Tuesday in connection with a New Year’s Eve attack on “Beverly Hills, 90210” actor Ian Ziering by a group of people on minibikes in Hollywood.

Search warrants were executed at two Los Angeles-area homes Tuesday, leading to the arrests of 20-year-old Jacob Esteban Hernandez and 40-year-old Angie Teresa Guizar, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement.

The attack and car vandalism altercation, which the LAPD said involved at least four members of a “minibike gang,” was reported around 3 p.m. on Dec. 31 in the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard, near Highland Avenue. In an Instagram post, the “90210” and “Sharknado” star said he was stuck in traffic with one of his two young daughters in his car when the minibikers “came aggressively toward him.”

“I got out of my car to assess the damage,” Ziering wrote. “Unfortunately, this action escalated into a physical altercation, which I saw through for my own protection.”

Part of the altercation in the heart of Hollywood was captured on videos posted on social media. The videos and information provided by witnesses helped investigators identify the suspects, police said.

At least one of the videos showed someone throwing an object at Ziering, nearly hitting him.

“After the attack, the minibike riders vandalized the motorist’s vehicle while his 10-year-old child remained in the front seat,” the LAPD said in its statement announcing the arrests. “The victim and his child did not suffer any serious injuries.”

Hernandez was booked on suspicion of vandalism with a bond set at $50,000, while Guizar was booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. Her bail was set at $30,000. The case will be presented to the district attorney’s office to determine charges.

It was not immediately clear whether the two suspects have lawyers. Prison records did not indicate an initial court date.

Anyone with information regarding the robbery and vandalism is asked to call Detective Douglass Hall of the Hollywood Division at 213-972-2971.

After-hours or weekend calls should be directed to 877-527-3247. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or visit lacrimestoppers.org.
