A Fox News weatherman who was on his way home from a bar early Sunday was assaulted by a group of teenagers on a New York City subway, police said. Four teens beat Adam Klotz, 37, after he asked them to stop smoking marijuana and to stop harassing an elderly passenger, New York City police said. After he was first attacked, Klotz said, he tried to evade the group by going to another subway car. Klotz criticized Mayor Eric Adams, saying the city does not adequately address subway violence. "Why is the weather guy on the train trying to stop crime in the middle of the night?"

A former New York weatherman who alleged in September that he was fired after someone sent nude webcam photos of him to his employer is speaking out against online “predators” following months of silence. After he learned the photos were taken, Adame asked Unit 4 Media for more information about the user who shared them. It is also unclear if the “pictures and videos” Adame refers to in his latest Instagram post are the same images referred to in the petition or additional images. Toward the end of his latest video, Adame shared a message with his followers. Adame told NBC News that he still hasn’t found work since his departure from NY1.
