A beloved face of Philadelphia morning TV was reportedly the victim of a physical assault over the weekend.
Reports say that longtime FOX 29 morning traffic anchor Bob Kelly is recovering after being assaulted at an event, which was held in a bar on the Jersey Shore Sunday afternoon.
The Philadelphia Inquirer was the first to report the news on Monday afternoon.
According to The Inquirer, Kelly was hosting an event at Oar House Pub in Sea Isle City Sunday afternoon when the incident occurred.
A man filmed himself pouring beer onto Kelly's head and shoulders, sources told the newspaper. When the veteran TV anchor reportedly swatted away the beer, the man punched Kelly in the face.
