A Philadelphia TV news anchor known as the “Dean of Traffic” sported a visibly swollen eye while on the air Tuesday — the result of being sucker punched in an attack he blamed on a TikTok challenge.
Bob Kelly, a longtime meteorologist for Fox 29 in the City of Brotherly Love, was slammed in the face by a brute while emceeing a party at a Jersey Shore bar on Sunday.
The unidentified attacker first poured a beer on the journalist’s head before hitting him while filming the incident at Oar House Pub in Sea Isle City, some 30 miles south of Atlantic City, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Kelly’s left eye was barely open as he discussed the ordeal during an appearance on “Good Day Philadelphia” on Tuesday.
