Chairman Rupert Murdoch was attacked with a foam-like substance
as he testified before lawmakers about the phone-hacking scandal in the U.K.A man standing behind Murdoch came from his left and leant into him and pushed a plate of the substance into his face, reported a Bloomberg reporter in the room. Murdoch’s wife Wendi stood up and tried to protect her husband from the man, who was then escorted out of the room by police officers.
The attacker refused to give his name when asked by reporters. “I’m sure Mister Murdoch will see the irony but I cannot comment on an ongoing police investigation,” he said. The U.K. Parliament committee hearing into the phone-hacking scandal at the News of the World newspaper was suspended after incident and resumed a short while later.
