"Yesterday, I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes," Ziering wrote on Instagram Jan. 1. "While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation. In an attempt to assess any damage I exited my car. This action, unfortunately, escalated into a physical altercation, which I navigated to protect myself."

While the Sharknado actor expressed his relief that he and his 12-year-old daughter Mia are "completely unscathed," he said the incident has left him "deeply concerned about the growing boldness of such groups who disrupt public safety and peace."

"This situation highlights a larger issue of hooliganism on our streets and the need for effective law enforcement responses to such behavior," he added.

And as he moves forward from the incident, the father of two—who, in addition to Mia, shares daughter Penna, 10, with ex Erin Ludwig—is "thankful for the support of my family, friends, and fans during this time." 

"It's in challenging moments like these that the strength and unity of our community are most vital," he concluded. "Happy new year."
