A protestor tried to attack Rupert Murdoch, after breaking into the
questioning of Rupert and James Murdoch by a parliament select committee
today. Murdoch Snr is said to have received a full plate of foam, cutard or cream in his
face.
Apparently the attacker – a young man – tried to grab Rupert Murdoch from behind.
Murdoch’s wife Wendy boldly stepped in to intervene, whacking the intruder over the headand shouting, "I got him, I got him!"
James Murdoch appeared shockedas his father was attacked by the cream pie-wielding protestor.
A man was led away in handcuffs with some sort of white substance on his hands.
Debate was soon raging as to whether the protestor tried to throw cream, foam, a custard pie or shaving foam.
The hearing has been suspended, but Murdoch Snr is unharmed and continues to be questioned.
