The attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, was "intentional" and the police dispatcher's "intuition" and "quick thinking" resulted in a faster police response, San Francisco Police Chief William Scott said.
Paul Pelosi was "violently attacked" by an intruder who broke into the Pelosis' San Francisco home early Friday morning and demanded to see the speaker, said a statement from Drew Hammill, Speaker Pelosi's spokesman. Paul Pelosi underwent "successful surgery to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands" and is expected to make a full recovery, the statement added. Speaker Pelosi was not at home at the time of the attack.
