Ian Ziering.Two suspects have been arrested over Ian Ziering's New Year's Eve road scuffle with multiple bikers in Los Angeles.
On Tuesday, May 21, at around 6 a.m. local time, the Los Angeles Police Department's Hollywood and Metropolitan Divisions served warrants on two individuals "responsible for an assault and vandalism of a motorist on Hollywood Boulevard" that occurred on Dec. 31, 2023 at around 3 p.m.
Per the LAPD's news release shared on X (formerly known as Twitter), the two taken into custody have been identified as Jacob Esteban Hernandez, a 20-year-old male resident of Rosemead, and Angie Teresa Guizar, a 40-year-old female resident of L.A.
The release stated Hernandez had been booked for "felony vandalism" while Guizar is facing a charge of "assault with a deadly weapon."
In January, PEOPLE reported that Ziering, 60, had been seen on videos surrounded by a group of people riding mini-bikes before a fight broke out while he was out with his 10-year-old daughter Penna. The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor was not named in the LAPD's latest release, and he's yet to comment on the arrests on social media.
The LAPD did not immediately respond when contacted by PEOPLE.
The update shared on X stated, "A victim was involved in a physical altercation with four to five members of a minibike gang on the 6800 block of Hollywood Boulevard within the Hollywood Entertainment District."
"The confrontation began between the victim and one of the minibike riders over possible damage to his vehicle. Three to four additional minibike riders jumped in and assaulted the motorist," it read.
The release added that one of the minibike riders was "captured swinging an object at the victim nearly striking him." Ziering's vehicle was vandalized after the assault "while his 10-year-old child remained in the front seat," the release continued.
"The victim and his child did not sustain any serious injuries," the release stated.
