A rider can be seen blocking Ziering’s SUV while revving their engine and staring menacingly through the windshield.
Ziering jumps out of his vehicle as the rider appears to step off their bike in preparation for an altercation, at which point Ziering shoves them and pandemonium breaks out.
Another hooligan crashes his own bike into Ziering as the actor fights off around half-a-dozen assailants.
Ziering manages to escape from the violent group by running to the opposite sidewalk.
At no point during the melee can any bystanders be seen coming to Ziering’s defense.
Photos obtained by TMZ show the actor consoling his daughter after the attack.
In a post on Instagram on Monday, Ziering offered his account of what transpired and blasted authorities for allowing criminals to terrorize law-abiding citizens.
Yesterday, I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes. 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.
I am relieved to report that my daughter and I are both completely unscathed, but the incident has left me deeply concerned about the growing boldness of such groups who disrupt public safety and peace.
This situation highlights a larger issue of hooliganism on our streets and the need for effective law enforcement responses to such behavior. As a citizen and a parent, I find it unacceptable that groups can freely engage in this kind of behavior, causing fear and chaos, while the response from authorities seems insufficient.
I have always been an advocate for standing up against intimidation and misconduct, and this incident reinforces my belief in the importance of personal and community safety. We must address the underlying issues that lead to such disruptive behavior and ensure that our streets are safe for everyone. I urge city officials and law enforcement to take decisive action against such lawlessness and provide the necessary resources to prevent future occurrences.
No suspects have been identified or apprehended at the time of this writing, according to the latest available updates.
