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 residences on Tuesday, leading to the arrest of 20-year-old Jacob Esteban Hernandez and 40-year-old Angie Teresa Guizar, Los Angeles police said in a statement.

The attack and car vandalism altercation, which 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 a traffic jam with one of his two young daughters in the car when the minibikers “came aggressively toward him.”

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

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

At least one of the videos showed someone hitting Ziering with an object, almost hitting him.

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

Hernandez was charged with suspicion of vandalism with bail set at $50,000, while Guizar was charged with 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 about the attack and vandalism is asked to call Hollywood Division Detective Douglass Hall 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.
