Keegan Allen Reports Armed Robbery and Assault in West Hollywood

Actor Keegan Allen was assaulted and robbed by two armed men outside Laurel Supply on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, Thursday night, according to authorities and the actor's social media account. The suspects allegedly threatened him, stole his Rolex watch, and struck him in the head with a handgun before fleeing. Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded to a report of an assault and robbery shortly after 9 p.m., according to NBC Los Angeles.

The incident occurred in the 8400 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, where investigators believe Allen was the victim. Authorities said the two suspects demanded the victim's watch and struck him in the head with a handgun. They then fled in an unidentified vehicle, and investigators had not established which direction they traveled.

According to information provided to TMZ by a representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, the two men wore black clothing. One allegedly pointed a handgun at Allen while the other displayed a knife as they demanded his watch and bracelet.

The gunman allegedly hit Allen in the face with the weapon before taking the watch and escaping with his accomplice. Reports cited by TMZ indicated that the stolen watch was a Rolex. Emergency medical personnel responded to the scene and treated Allen for a laceration to his head, according to TMZ. He was not transported to a hospital.

Allen, known for his role in the television series Pretty Little Liars, posted a video on Instagram describing the encounter. His face was visibly bloodied in the footage as he recounted the confrontation outside Laurel Supply. In the video, Allen said the masked assailants threatened to kill him and expressed the belief that he had survived a potentially fatal encounter. He also said he no longer felt safe in West Hollywood.

Allen also shared surveillance footage that appeared to show the masked suspects outside the luxury grocery store. Authorities had not publicly identified the men or confirmed the vehicle used in their escape in the reports published Friday.
