Watch: Kim Kardashian Awarded Symbolic $1.15 Over 2016 Paris Robbery
Keegan Allen survived a harrowing encounter.
The Pretty Little Liars alum shared a video taken in the minutes after he says two armed assailants violently attacked him in a West Hollywood parking lot, stealing his watch before hitting him in the head with a gun multiple times.
“I was just robbed of my watch,” Allen, who is visibly dripping blood from his head, said in the graphic Oct. 9 video. He then asks someone off camera, “Can you call the police?”
The 37-year-old—who appeared out of breath and visibly shaken—continued, “These two dudes hit me in the head, and pointed a gun at me with a knife and then took off. They had masks on. They took my watch though, took my damn watch. Dammit.”
Within the clip was what appeared to be footage from a nearby camera in which Allen can be seen being confronted by two masked individuals and handing over something from his wrist before one of the assailants hits him in the head three times. The pair then run off into the night.
“West Hollywood is not safe anymore,” Allen wrote in the caption of his post. “Robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint by two young men that threatened to KILL me over my watch and would have! God said no tonight. My life for a watch.”
“Will update more soon,” he continued, expressing hope that the nearby cameras lead to the apprehension of his assailants. “God bless.”
Local law enforcement also shared a statement with E! News detailing the incident.

“One suspect pointed a silver handgun at the victim while the other pointed a knife and demanded the victim’s watch and bracelet,” the Oct. 9 statement read. “Shortly after, the victim was struck in the face with the handgun. The suspects obtained the victim’s watch and fled the scene in an unknown vehicle.”
The statement also noted, “The victim sustained a laceration to his forehead. Los Angeles County Fire responded to the location and medically evaluated the victim; however, he was not transported to hospital.”
As for Allen, the Walker actor’s comment section was soon filled with well wishes from fans and friends—many of whom thought the blood had been the result of special effects upon first seeing the video.
“I was hoping this was a new movie you were shooting when I opened this,” one user wrote. “Oh you poor thing!! Hope you heal fast, you’re ok and the crims get caught!!”
Another added, “The watch can be replaced. You can’t. What a horrible instance.”
