Ian Ziering was seen trying to defend himself after he got into a street brawl with a Los Angeles biker gang on New Year’s Eve.

In a video obtained by TMZ, the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum can be seen driving down Hollywood Boulevard in LA before getting out of his car and fighting with a group of motorcyclists.

The video shows Ziering seemingly throwing the first punch at one of the bikers in front of his car. He then pushes the cyclist down on the ground.

His lead doesn’t last long, however, as a dozen of the other bikers quickly begin to surround him.

Four of the helmeted members then gather around Ziering, and punch him for a few seconds before he tries to escape by running across the busy street.

The busy street doesn’t scare off all the bikers, since two of them follow him, with one of them grabbing the actor’s shirt and pulling him back.

One biker pushes the “Sharknado” actor, 59, toward a parked red car, but Ziering continues fighting back and kicking him.

The second assailant then falls while trying to trip Ziering across the street, but he eventually catches up to him and swings a punch right at his head.

A third attacker, who appears to be a woman, eventually joins her fellow biker gang members to try and continue harming him.

Ziering is eventually able to escape on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. One of the bikers slowly chases behind him before calling it quits, while the rest of them stop short of the sidewalk.

It’s unclear exactly what caused the altercation, but TMZ reported that one of the bikers seemed to clip Ziering’s car, which caused him to get out and punch the first person.
