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 Jacob Esteban Hernandez, 20, and Angie Teresa Guizar, 40, were arrested in two Los Angeles-area homes on Tuesday, Los Angeles police 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.”

“To assess the damage, I got out of my car,” Ziering wrote. “Unfortunately, this action escalated into a physical altercation, which I controlled 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 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 initially unclear whether the two suspects had lawyers. Jail 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.
