A protester threw a plate of white foam at News Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch on Tuesday during a committee hearing in the British parliament into a hacking scandal at one of his newspapers.
Murdoch, 80, was not hurt, and no doctor was required, a Reuters witness said. Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng, who was sitting behind him in the committee room, slapped the assailant and police rushed to arrest him.
