Ian Ziering sends message with his hat in first sighting since biker brawl
Ian Ziering is keeping his head high – and covered – after his terrifying fight with a biker gang.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum stepped out this week for the first time since his fisticuffs, wearing a Soulbyrd trucker cap ($48) that read “good vibes” above the brim.
Ziering, 59, was seen at Bristol Farms in Los Angeles having lunch with a friend.
He kept the rest of his look casual, opting for blue jeans and a flannel-style jacket over a gray shirt.
The “Sharknado” star was driving on Hollywood Boulevard on New Year’s Eve when a group of bikers atop mini-motos surrounded his vehicle.
Ziering, who got out of his vehicle, ended up being punched several times before he and his 10-year-old daughter were able to escape the group’s wrath.
Immediately after finding a safe space, Ziering was photographed consoling Penna and holding her close to his chest.
Ziering addressed the “alarming” New Year’s Day attack and called on law enforcement for failing to control crime.
“I am relieved to report that my daughter and I are completely unharmed, but the incident has left me deeply concerned about the growing audacity of such groups disrupting public safety and peace,” the actor said in a press release published on social networks.
“This situation highlights a wider problem of hooliganism on our streets and the need for effective law enforcement responses to such behavior.
For more Page Six style…
“As a citizen and parent, I find it unacceptable that groups can freely engage in this kind of behavior, causing fear and chaos, while the response from the authorities seems insufficient. »
The “Swamp Thing” actor ended his lengthy message by calling on law enforcement and city officials to take “decisive action” against “lawlessness” in Los Angeles.
“I am grateful for the support of my family, friends and fans during this time,” he wrote.
“It is during difficult times like these that the strength and unity of our community is most vital. Good year.”
New footage showed Ziering’s Mercedes-Benz, worth $100,000, taking the brunt of the damage from the altercation.
Half of the luxury vehicle’s windshield appeared to be cracked beyond repair and a side mirror was cracked.
