Jake Gyllenhaal Witnesses Gang Violence On Police Ride-Along

Looks like Jake got a harsh dose of reality when prepping for his police movie.

Last night, Jake Gyllenhaal and End of Watch co-star Michael Pena witnessed the aftermath of gang violence, while on a police ride-along in South El Lay.

Jake and Michael saw paramedics treat a man who had been grazed with bullets on his lip and arm.

Scary stuff! We give Jake and his co-star credit for taking the time and effort to prep for their movie like this, but we hope they stay safe.

Have U ever been on a police ride-along? If so, what was your experience like?
