Road rage is so bad these days even the rich and famous are falling victim to vicious attacks. That seems to be what was captured by a bystander’s cellphone video when Beverly Hills 90210 actor Ian Ziering was captured fighting several helmet-clad bikers on a Los Angeles street on New Year’s Eve.
Woman kills man in Bronx road rage incident.
The incident reportedly started when several suspects on minibikes were zooming through traffic on Hollywood Blvd. Not only did these bikers cut off multiple vehicles as they behaved lawlessly, TMZ says witnesses claim Ziering’s car might have been hit by at least one of them.
We’ve seen this kind of aggressive, thuggish behavior among some motorcyclists before. These types of riders seem to have something broken in their brain as they cause fights, then play victim before viciously attacking the actual victims.
In the video of this incident, we see Ziering get ganged up on with at least five on one – hardly a fair fight. Yet even with those odds, one of the bikers decides to go even lower, grabbing a helmet through the open face shield slot and preparing to use it to bash the actor’s head in. We’ve seen that tactic used before and it’s not only a cheap shot but is usually devastatingly effective at maximizing bodily damage for the other party.
In other words, these kids (they look young, even though their faces are covered up) weren’t just looking to rough Ian Ziering up. No, they were looking to beat him up pretty badly. Fortunately, these little outlaws seem really bad at fist fighting as they swing multiple haymakers that don’t come even close to connecting and one even slides on the pavement in an attempt to sweep the leg, missing by a mile.
Fortunately, Ziering was able to flee to the other side of the road and his attackers seem to just give up at that point, probably realizing their behavior is garnering a bunch of unwanted attention.
TMZ reports Los Angeles police are investigating the incident and that Ziering is listed as a victim.
