Ian Ziering was filmed being punched and kicked by a group of mini-bike riders in Los Angeles on Sunday in a shock traffic altercation.

In video from the shock incident, The Beverly Hills, 90210 actor, 59, was seen clashing with one mini-bike rider on Hollywood Boulevard - approaching them and kicking them before striking them on the head.

Ziering was then attacked by the rider who attempted to strike him, before the actor pushed the rider to the ground.

Ziering was surrounded by other bikers from the group - who wore helmets in the exchange - and was seen being punched in the head as he attempted to fend off multiple attacks.

He ran across the road in an attempt to flee to safety before he was caught by the riders and punched again. The star was seen defending himself by kicking the bikers who grabbed onto his arm and pulled him back into the street before striking him.

Ziering then ran to the safety of the street.

The incident involving Ziering, who played the role of Steve Sanders on the Fox series from 1990 to 2000, took place on Hollywood Boulevard with the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop visible in the background.

While dozens of onlookers were gathered at the popular spot on New Year's Eve, no one appeared to intervene on Ziering's behalf in the incident.

A source told DailyMail.com that Ziering is 'doing okay' after the incident.

It was not immediately clear if anyone was arrested in connection with the incident as of Sunday evening, TMZ reported, noting that 'an official report' lists the Newark, New Jersey-born actor 'as the victim' in the incident.

Police told the outlet they are probing the incident and communicating with the people involved.
