Keegan Allen Robbed at Gunpoint in West Hollywood

Actor Keegan Allen, known for his role in "Pretty Little Liars," was robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint in West Hollywood on Thursday evening. Allen, 37, shared a video on social media showing a bloody laceration on his head following the assault, which he stated occurred when two young men threatened his life over his watch.

In the video, Allen can be heard saying, "I was just robbed, two dudes pointed a gun at me and a knife, call the police." He expressed concern about the safety of the area, questioning the effectiveness of surveillance cameras in preventing crime. Allen tagged California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in his post.

According to reports, the suspects demanded Allen's watch and bracelet. The gunman allegedly struck Allen in the face with the weapon before fleeing with his accomplice in a vehicle. Police and paramedics responded to the scene, and Allen received treatment for a head laceration but was not hospitalized.

Allen, who portrayed Toby Cavanaugh in "Pretty Little Liars" from 2010 to 2017, has since appeared in the crime drama "Walker" and the police procedural "The Rookie."

The West Hollywood Sheriff's Department and representatives for Allen have been contacted for comment.
