Watch Out For Hoboken Pigeon Attacks, Warns TikTok Influencer

HOBOKEN, NJ — It may not be the Hoboken Chicken Emergency, but it's something to watch out for, said Hoboken-based fitness consultant Anthony Crouchelli in a popular TikTok post on Monday.

"If you do not live in Hoboken, do not watch this," warned the business owner in the post, which drew thousands of likes and shares.

He said he wanted to issue a "PSA" about getting cold-cocked on the way to buy his cold brew.

"Today I got hit by a pigeon! A pigeon! While walking to get my cold brew at Dunkin'," he related. "I got hit by a pigeon at Fourth and Wash. It came in like a pterodactyl right at my noggin. What are they feeding these birds?"

He added, "If you live in Hoboken, watch out for these birds."

The personal trainer normally shares Hoboken and New Jersey weather reports in his TikTok posts.

Perhaps he'll take the bird strike as a sign to try one of Hoboken's locally owned coffee shops besides Dunkin'.
