Nancy Pelosi’s husband ‘violently assaulted’ after break-in

The husband of US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been “violently assaulted” after a break-in at their California home.

Paul Pelosi, 82, was taken to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery, Pelosi’s office said.

CNN, citing a source, reported that the assailant shouted “Where is Nancy?” before the attack. The Associated Press reported the hammer-wielding assailant specifically targeted the Pelosis’ home.

“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi.  The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation.  Mr. Pelosi was taken to the hospital, where he is receiving excellent medical care and is expected to make a full recovery.  The Speaker was not in San Francisco at the time.

“The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time.”
