Over the objections from defense lawyers for the man charged with a hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, authorities have released a police bodycam video of the actual attack.
WATCH (be forewarned about offensive language):
Just the News explained lawyers for David DePape, charged in the attack, had opposed the release.
The attack happened Oct. 28, 2022, at a residence the Pelosis own in San Francisco.
Paul Pelosi, 82, sustained a fractured skull in the attack.
The video was ordered released by the San Francisco Superior Court after news organizations made the request.
A report from Fox News described the video as showing police knocking on Pelosi’s door, then the door opening to reveal Pelosi and DePape standing there.
DePape, holding a hammer, is ordered to drop it, and refuses.
DePape is then seen swinging it at Pelosi, who appears to attempt to retreat before being struck.
The suspect reportedly said he was looking for Nancy Pelosi, who was not at the home.
When San Francisco police arrived at the home around 2:30 a.m., they found Pelosi in his pajamas and the intruder wearing shorts, sneakers and a sweatshirt, court documents said.
The encounter took only about 15 seconds, and then police officers summoned backup as well as an ambulance.
