A Fox News meteorologist was pummeled by a group of teens when he tried to stop them from harassing another straphanger on a Manhattan subway early Sunday, cops and the prognosticator said.
Weatherman Adam Klotz, 37, recounted the vicious attack in an Instagram video, appearing bruised and battered as he described how he was coming home on a train after watching the New York Giants NFL playoff game at a bar when he saw “this older gentleman was being hassled by this group of seven or eight teens.
“I was like, ‘Yo, guys, cut that out.’ And they decided, ‘Alright, if he’s not going to get it, you’re going to get it.’ And boy did they give it to me,” Klotz said. “They had me on the ground. My ribs are all bruised up, too. They got their hits in.”
Police sources said the meteorologist was on a No. 1 train around 1:15 a.m. when he confronted the teens, who may have been smoking weed at the time, too.
The young suspects fled the train at the 18th Street station after the assault, but three of them — two 15-year-olds and a 17-year-old — were soon nabbed by cops, sources said.
Police eventually cut the trio loose.
“Juvenile reports were prepared, and their parents were called to pick them up,” a rep for the NYPD said Sunday.
It’s unclear why the three nabbed suspects were released without facing charges.
Klotz was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at Bellevue Hospital.
He seemed unaware in his online video that the three caught suspects were released without being charged — or that the beat-down he received might not have been recognized as severe enough to warrant prosecution.
At first, Klotz, who suffered two black eyes among other injuries, posted a video in which he half-heartedly joked, “You should see the other guy.
“My side — don’t laugh — my side is so much worse than my face. And the thing is the other guy is not really a guy. It’s children. Five or six children.
“Where are the parents?” he said. “Parents, watch your children.”
Of the man he was defending, he said, “He’s fine.
“And the cops grabbed a couple of these kids, and, you know, I got X-rays. I’m OK. This is all going to heal. So, it’s all good.”
Klotz, who is from Indiana, added, “New York City! What a place. The Big Apple.”
Klotz and a spokeswoman for Fox News did not respond to a request for additional comment on the case and the teens’ release.
