Hernandez sued Ziering over battery, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution and negligence, according to the complaint filed Dec. 29 and obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hernandez claimed Ziering used his celebrity status to falsely portray himself as the victim in the incident. He stated that Ziering&#8217;s alleged false claims led to his arrest and incarceration plus lasting mental and physical harm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to the complaint, Hernandez was riding a mini-motorbike when traffic congestion forced him to stop between two cars. Ziering allegedly exited his vehicle without provocation and forcefully shoved Hernandez twice, knocking him into a female friend and onto the pavement. The confrontation caused a melee afterward, which was caught on video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/lapd-makes-arrests-assault-90210-star-ian-ziering-months-later\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Lapd Makes Arrests In Alleged Assault Of '90210' Star Ian Ziering Months Later;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>Lapd Makes Arrests In Alleged Assault Of &#8216;90210&#8217; Star Ian Ziering Months Later<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Ian Ziering is named in a new lawsuit alleging a New Year\u2019s Eve traffic confrontation in Hollywood turned physical.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/los-angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Los Angeles;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Los Angeles<\/a> Police Department&#8217;s Hollywood and Metropolitan divisions arrested two people they claimed were involved in a Dec. 31, 2023 assault.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/foxnews.onelink.me\/xLDS\/mvaj7wvj\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Read On The Fox News App;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong><u>Read On The Fox News App<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The confrontation began between the victim and one of the minibike riders over possible damage to his vehicle,&#8221; a press release shared by LAPD and obtained by Fox News Digital said at the time. &#8220;Three to four additional minibike riders jumped in and assaulted the motorist.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Video obtained by TMZ in 2023 showed Ziering&#8217;s vehicle surrounded by multiple riders on mini-motorized bikes on Hollywood Boulevard before the actor got out of his car.
