PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Telemundo reporter has been punched in the face during a live broadcast in Philadelphia.

Iris Delgado was just wrapping up a report outside City Hall on Thursday night when a woman approached her.

Footage of the attack shows the woman tapping Delgado's right arm, saying, "Excuse me, excuse me." She then bashes Delgado in the head and slaps her face. The camera quickly cut back to the studio, where anchor Ramon Zayas can be heard saying "Ay, dios mio!"

1. This is just sad...

but not completely unexpected from some in Philly.

I worked in downtown Philly for a while. One time there was a peaceful protest by Muslim women and there was a very ugly reaction to that. Not exactly the City of Brotherly Love...sad.

5. Who are the "some" you are referring to, that couldn't be said about any city?

[tallahasseedem]

7. Any one who lives or works in Philly knows...

that there are a lot of people who aren't fond of hispanics or muslims. Sure, that could happen in other cities but I wasn't talking about them, I was talking about Philly.

9. Of course. You "worked there awhile" so you can speak knowingly.

I suppose if I said there are people in Tallahassee who don't like hispanics or muslims I would be wildly off the mark. I'd probably have to work there awhile before I could say that.

10. Actually, you'd be spot on!

That is the South, after all.

4. awesome- And now I'm the poster I complain about! I didn't read the link!!!

I busted

After all the times I bitch at people for that I do it myself. I guess I get one screw-up after 15 years right

6. "Dios mio" sums up my feelings exactly.

How much do you want to bet that the attackers are Trumpenfuror fans?

8. About a 10% chance at most considering the poll data.
