Ian Ziering sends a message with his hat in first sighting since biker brawl
Ian Ziering is keeping his head held high — and covered — following his terrifying brawl with a biker gang.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum stepped out this week for the first time since his fisticuffs wearing a Soulbyrd trucker hat ($48) that read “good vibes” above the brim.
Ziering, 59, was seen at Bristol Farms in Los Angeles enjoying lunch with a female friend.
He kept the rest of his look casual, opting for a pair of blue jeans and flannel-style jacket over a gray shirt.
The “Sharknado” star had been driving on Hollywood Boulevard on New Year’s Eve when a group of riders atop mini motorbikes surrounded his vehicle.
Ziering, who exited his vehicle, ended up getting punched several times before he and his 10-year-old daughter were able to escape the group’s wrath.
Immediately after finding a safe space, Ziering was photographed consoling Penna and holding her close to his chest.
Ziering addressed the “alarming” attack on New Year’s Day and called out law enforcement for not getting a grip on crime.
“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,” the actor said in a statement posted to social media.
“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.”
The “Swamp Thing” actor ended his lengthy message by calling upon law enforcement and city officials to take “decisive action” against the “lawlessness” in Los Angeles.
“I am thankful for the support of my family, friends, and fans during this time,” he wrote.
“It’s in challenging moments like these that the strength and unity of our community are most vital. Happy new year.”
New images showed Ziering’s $100,000 Mercedes-Benz taking the brunt of the damage from the altercation.
Half of the luxury vehicle’s windshield appeared cracked beyond repair and one side-view mirror had been cracked.
