It's possible to (D)DOS any server using ping (or DNS, or any other UDP responder).
All an attacker needs is the server's IP address, which is publicly available in the Tor consensus.
Then they can attack the relay from the Internet.

There's no need to use Tor to tunnel the (D)DOS. In this case, Tor doesn't tunnel UDP, so it's unlikely to be the culprit.
