“Pretty Little Liars” actor Keegan Allen says he is “on the mend” after being robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint in West Hollywood on Thursday night. The 37-year-old posted a recovery update on Instagram on Sunday, Oct. 11, thanking fans, law enforcement and medical staff, Page Six reports.
What Allen said
Allen shared a video on Instagram right after the incident outside the Laurel Supply grocery store. “These two dudes hit me in the head, pointed a gun at me with a knife, and then took off,” he said, according to ABC7 and Page Six. “They had masks on and took my watch.” In a caption he wrote that West Hollywood “is not safe anymore.” On Saturday he posted a photo with stitches above his left eye and the caption “Healing. Will update more soon,” ABC7 reports. On Sunday he wrote: “Thank you all for such kind and caring messages. I’m on the mend.”
What the sheriff’s department says
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the robbery in a statement to Us Weekly, quoted by PopCulture. Deputies responded at about 9:05 p.m. on Oct. 8 to the 8400 block of Santa Monica Boulevard. The statement says one suspect pointed a handgun and the other a knife and demanded the victim’s watch and bracelet, and that the victim was struck in the face with the handgun. The suspects took a watch and left in an unknown vehicle. The department says the victim had a forehead laceration, was evaluated by fire personnel and was not transported to a hospital.
Page Six reports Allen also thanked staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in an Instagram Story, so accounts differ on whether he later sought hospital care. Allen has said he likely had a concussion, PopCulture reports.
Crime trends in the area
Sheriff’s Capt. Calvin Mah told ABC7 that robberies in the area are down about 20%, but called this one “a shocking crime.” No arrests have been reported in the sources reviewed.
