'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.'
In the video, a dazed Allen says, 'I was just robbed outside of Laurel Supply, two dudes pointed a gun at me and a knife, call the police.'
Surveillance footage, which appeared to have been taken from a parking lot, showed two suspects approaching Allen as he opened his car doors.
They are seen pointing weapons at him, before hitting him in the head several times.
He has since had stitches to repair a laceration above his eye.

The statement read, 'Upon arrival, deputies contacted a male adult, who stated he was approached by two male adults dressed in black clothing.
'One suspect pointed a silver handgun at the victim while the other pointed a knife and demanded the victim’s watch and bracelet.
