Story summary

Keegan Allen, a 37-year-old actor known for his role in "Pretty Little Liars," was mugged in West Hollywood on Thursday evening when two masked men robbed him of his watch and bracelet after beating him up with a gun, leaving him bleeding from the head. The incident occurred outside Laurel Supply, an upscale grocery store on Santa Monica Boulevard, where Allen had just parked his car. In response to the attack, Allen posted a video on Instagram showing himself covered in blood and called for help. He later shared security footage of the attackers who fled with his watch.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is actively investigating this violent robbery involving a gun and a knife. Despite surveillance cameras being present at the scene, there's no guarantee that they will catch the perpetrators. Allen has also expressed concern about safety in West Hollywood, questioning whether California’s network of surveillance cameras can help track down his attackers. He directed criticism towards Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling on them to take action against rising crime rates in the area.
