House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D., Calif.) husband was attacked early Friday morning at the couple’s San Francisco home, bringing a growing crime wave to the doorstep of one of the nation’s top Democratic lawmakers.
“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi,” the speaker’s office said in a statement. Paul Pelosi was taken to a hospital and is “expected to make a full recovery.”
The unnamed assailant is in custody and the motive is unclear. Nancy Pelosi was not home at the time.
“The speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved,” the statement said, adding that the family requests privacy.
The attack comes as both violent and property crimes have spiked in San Francisco in recent years. A 2021 analysis ranked the city as more dangerous than 98 percent of American cities—with residents facing a 1-in-16 chance of being victims of property or violent crime each year.
Even with increasing crime across Democrat-run cities, Nancy Pelosi said this week that she “cannot believe” Americans would vote for Republicans.
In August, a court ordered Paul Pelosi to serve three years’ probation for a May DUI incident.
