The only thing scarier than a gang of pissed-off bikers? A gang of pissed-off mini-bikers, a lesson Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Ian Ziering discovered the hard way last weekend, after getting his ass handed to him by a band of helmeted — and angry — riders.
Though it’s unclear what sparked the brawl, which went down in front of a tattoo shop in on SoCal’s iconic Hollywood Boulevard — some speculate that a motor accident may have been to blame — both the bikers and Ziering were visibly pissed, the riders hopping off their bikes and the star exiting his car moments before coming to blows.
UPDATE: 59-year old 90210 actor Ian Ziering, who took on a mini bike gang by himself in LA, has released details regarding the incident.

On New Year’s Eve, Ziering got out of his vehicle after the mini gang approached his car.

Though the actor initially held his own, appearing to whoop one rider’s ass, his band of mini-biker pals weren’t having it, proceeding to give it right back to him. With the tides turned, Ziering attempted to run away several seconds into the altercation, yet one rider refused to let him escape, following him to a car where he continued the brutal beatdown, one the star described as an “alarming incident” in a subsequent social media post.
“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,” he wrote on Monday before demanding the cops to spring to action.
“I urge city officials and law enforcement to take decisive action against such lawlessness and provide the necessary resources to prevent future occurrences,” he continued.
So take it from Ziering: Size most definitely does not matter when it comes to angry bikers.
