Warning: This article contains images of injury some readers may find distressing.
Pretty Little Liars star Keegan Allen posted a video describing how he was robbed of his watch by two men with a gun and knife.
Putting the video on his Instagram page, the actor was clearly bloodstained with a wound on the side of his head and out of breath as he described the robbery, saying he hoped that the criminals would be found by one of the many security cameras installed around California.
He 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.
"Will update more soon. Let’s hope all these flock cameras that Karen Bassla, Gavin Newsom and everyone thinks will stop crime can find these very dangerous criminals. God bless."
In the video itself he showed some of that security camera footage of him being robbed as he described what happened during the incident.
'I was just robbed of my watch' he said, blood pouring down the side of a wound in his head with the actor audibly short of breath as he asked someone nearby to call the police.
"Two dudes hit me in the head and pointed a gun at me, with a knife," he told his followers as he showed video footage of him being attacked, the pair of apparent assailants running away afterwards.
Trying to collect his thoughts and describe the attack, Allen said he remembered they 'had masks on' and showed his wrist as he said they 'took my watch though'.
With him clearly in a badly injured state the comments were full of shock and concern for the actor, with many of them urging him to get to hospital and have his head wound treated as soon as possible.
One person told him that because of the head injury he may have concussion and urged him to go to hospital, and not to go to sleep.
Someone else said 'forget your watch, it can be replaced, you can't', and many others begged him 'please go to the hospital asap'.
Others expressed their shock at his injuries and said they had initially thought the injury and blood on his face was 'for a movie' instead of the result of a serious robbery where he could have been killed.
The 37-year-old actor said he'd been robbed outside a Laurel Supply grocery store in West Hollywood.
