"Pretty Little Liars" alum Keegan Allen says he was beaten and robbed at gunpoint and knifepoint late Thursday outside a West Hollywood grocery store, and he posted graphic footage of the attack — including what he said was surveillance video — to social media hours later.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirmed it responded to the robbery near the 8400 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, outside the Laurel Supply market, according to ABC7 Los Angeles. Deputies said two men approached Allen, 37, with a handgun and a knife before one struck him in the face with the gun. He was evaluated by paramedics at the scene but not taken to a hospital.

"West Hollywood Is Not Safe Anymore"

In his post, Allen — who played Toby Cavanaugh on "Pretty Little Liars" and currently stars as Liam Walker on The CW's "Walker" — said the men threatened his life over his Rolex before fleeing with the watch, per Deadline.

"These two dudes hit me in the head and pointed a gun at me with a knife and then took off," Allen wrote, adding that "West Hollywood is not safe anymore."

TMZ reported one suspect held the handgun while the other brandished a knife, matching the sheriff's account. No arrests have been made, and detectives at the West Hollywood sheriff's station are asking anyone with information to come forward.

Fox News noted Allen tagged Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom in his post, using the moment to call attention to safety in the neighborhood.

Allen broke out playing brooding outcast-turned-love-interest Toby on Freeform's "Pretty Little Liars" from 2010 to 2017 before moving to procedural drama, where he currently recurs on "Walker." He has also released photography books and performs music under his own name.

Sheriff's officials urged anyone with information to call detectives at the West Hollywood station at (310) 855-8850.
