Pretty Little Liars star robbed at gunpoint while loading groceries into his truck in West Hollywood

Keegan Allen, the actor who played Toby Cavanaugh in the 2010s show Pretty Little Liars, was attacked and robbed and gunpoint and knifepoint on Thursday night outside a high-end grocery store in West Hollywood. 

Allen posted about the incident to social media, showing the bloody aftermath of the attack. “I was just robbed of my watch outside of Laurel Supply,” he said in a video. “These two dudes hit me in the head and just pointed a gun at me, with a knife, and then took off.” He said his watch was taken, and the men had masks on. 

Surveillance video showed Allen outside of his truck loading groceries in, surrounded by two masked men who were seen pointing weapons at him, with one of the men striking him in the head. 

Allen wrote, “West Hollywood is not safe anymore. 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.” He added, “Will update more soon. Let’s hope all these flock cameras that [Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom] and everyone thinks will stop crime can find these very dangerous criminals.” 

A representative for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office told TMZ that the incident took place on Santa Monica Boulevard. Police said that one suspect pointed a gun in Allen’s face while another brandished a knife. The two men demanded Allen’s watch and bracelet. The gunman reportedly struck Allen in the face with the pistol, grabbed his watch, and fled with the accomplice in an unknown vehicle. 

Allen was treated for a head laceration at the scene but was not transported to a hospital.
