Newly released body cam footage shows the moment Paul Pelosi — the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — was attacked in his San Francisco home in the early hours of October 28.
The footage, first obtained by NBC Bay Area reporter Bigad Shaban, below shows police arriving at the Pelosi residence.
The footage shows Pelosi struggling with a man — identified by police as David DePape — who takes a hammer and bashes Pelosi over the head with it.
The assault fractured Paul Pelosi's skull; he has since recovered and was released from the hospital. DePape has been charged with a slew of crimes, including assault and attempted murder.
The October 28 attack came as a shock to the political world. Pelosi recently told the New York Times that it's "going to be about three or four more months" before her husband is "really back to normal."
Over a month after the attack, Pelosi began to re-emerge in public, wearing a hat that concealed his healing skull.
