Actor Keegan Allen has described the frightening moment he was violently robbed by two masked attackers in West Hollywood.

The Pretty Little Liars star, 37, claimed he was targeted by the armed thugs outside an upscale grocery store on Thursday night local time.

In footage recorded seemingly moments after the incident, a startled Allen is seen with blood dripping from his head as he tells the camera he was hit then threatened with a gun and knife before the alleged assailants fled with his watch.

“I was just robbed of my watch outside of Laurel Supply,” Keegan said in the video shared to Instagram.

Confused bystanders can be hear in the background asking what happened before Allen asks them to call police.

“Those two dudes hit me in the head and pointed a gun at me with a knife and then took off,” Allen continued.

“Has masks on, they took my watch though.. dammit.”

Security footage featured in Allen’s video appears to show two masked men approach the actor as he loaded bags of shopping into the rear passenger side of a parked car.

One of the alleged attackers then appeared to strike Allen in the head several times with a firearm, while the second seemed to hold threaten him with a knife.

The pair can then be seen fleeing the scene on foot.

In a caption accompanying the video, Allen warned the area “was not safe anymore” in light of the scary ordeal.

“West Hollywood is not safe anymore,” Allen wrote.

“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. Let’s hope all these Flock cameras that @karenbassla @gavinnewsom and everyone thinks will stop crime can find these very dangerous criminals. God bless.”
