The rep told PEOPLE: "While in the restaurant of the Sunset Marquis, Brian Hickerson, who happened to be with Hayden, made a comment to an individual about leaving the waitress a poor tip. That same individual along with the group he was with began badgering and shoving Brian at which point security pushed everyone outside."

The representative went on to explain that the altercation escalated when Brian was "attacked" and the former 'Heroes' actress "did her best" to ameliorate the situation.

The statement continued: "Brian was attacked by the group as was Hayden who in her best effort tried to diffuse the situation. Hayden was refused the opportunity to provide a statement to the police as she was escorted back inside. She is okay. "
