A protester hit Rupert Murdoch with a foam pie on Tuesday as the media mogul testified to British lawmakers on the phone-hacking scandal, in a bizarre finale to what he called the “most humble day of my life”.
The 80-year-old News Corporation chief’s Chinese-born wife Wendi Deng leaped up and slapped the assailant, who was dragged off by police after the attack during a parliamentary committee hearing quizzing Murdoch and his son James. The Guardian newspaper and Sky News named the attacker as a comedian called Jonnie Marbles.
