Brian Austin Green is letting his "brother" Ian Ziering know that he's forever in his corner.
Following his former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar's scary biker incident, Green praised Ziering for defending himself during the altercation.
"My boy Ian Ziering got in a fistfight on Hollywood Boulevard with five dudes and f---ing beat them. Did it. Did his thing," Green, 50, said in an Instagram Story video Tuesday. "He's a monster. He's f---ing incredibly fit, obviously."

Though Green clarified how he "would not suggest to anyone to fight people" particularly "in this climate," the actor noted that it fortunately "all turned out well" for Ziering.
"Z, I love you, brother," Green added of the fellow BH90210 alum. "You're a f---ing beast and good on you."

Video obtained by TMZ showed Ziering, 59, being attacked by multiple bikers in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. In the footage, the group surrounded Ziering's vehicle and he appeared to get into a physical altercation with one of them upon stepping out.
He then found himself fighting off several bikers at once before eventually escaping the situation.
According to CW affiliate KTLA, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that officers responded to the scene around 3 p.m. following "reports of a fight that broke out after the group of bikers were driving recklessly." The incident remains under investigation.
Ziering addressed the matter on Instagram Monday, sharing an extensive message detailing how he's doing while also condemning the actions of the bikers.
"Yesterday, I experienced an alarming incident involving a group of individuals on mini bikes. While stuck in traffic, my car was approached aggressively by one of these riders leading to an unsettling confrontation," he captioned the post. "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."
"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," he continued. "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."

"We must address the underlying issues that lead to such disruptive behavior and ensure that our streets are safe for everyone. I urge city officials and law enforcement to take decisive action against such lawlessness and provide the necessary resources to prevent future occurrences," he added. "I am 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. Happy new year."
