The prevailing narrative paints Ian as the victim, with most videos depicting a gang surrounding and assaulting him. However, a recently surfaced video presents a contrasting perspective. This footage reveals that Ian initiated the altercation by throwing the first punch.
Watch the video:
From TMZ:
The video is shot from behind. You see Ian's Mercedes stopped on Hollywood Blvd. -- the car in front of him had stopped and blocked his path forward.
Members of the 605 Minibike Gang roll up behind Ian's car, with 2 of them stopping right in front of the vehicle. It seems as if they were trying to block him from moving. At that point, there is no physical contact between the bikers and Ian, or the motorcycle and the Mercedes.
Ian lunges out of the car and immediately shoves one of the bikers, which then sets off the brawl.
This video is intriguing, but it fails to shed light on why Ian came out of the car with guns blazing. There must have been some interaction or incident between the actor and the gang members that ignited the intense situation before the cameras started rolling.
