San Francisco 49ers linebackers Reuben Foster and Ray-Ray Armstrong escaped an armed robbery attempt, successfully running away from their would-be assailants on Monday morning.

Foster and Armstrong were at a San Francisco club following Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. The San Francisco Police Department reported that two men wearing white hoodies and carrying guns jumped out of a car and pointed the weapons at Foster, Armstrong, and their security guard.

After escaping from the gunmen, Foster and Armstrong called police from the Westin St. Francis Hotel. The gunmen have yet to be apprehended.

The 49ers released a statement, as obtained by David Lombardi of the The Athletic San Francisco.

We are aware of the reports regarding the robbery and are very thankful no one was harmed. Reuben and Ray-Ray have been, and will continue to be, cooperative with any further police investigation.
