The husband of Democratic US politician Nancy Pelosi (82) was the victim of a robbery last week. Paul Pelosi (82) was injured and required surgery. Nancy Pelosi gave an update on his medical condition in a statement on Thursday (November 3rd): “The Pelosi family is grateful for the wonderful love, support and prayers from around the world. Paul remains under medical supervision while he goes through his long recovery process continues. He is home now surrounded by his family, who are asking for privacy.”
A man broke into the couple’s home in San Francisco on Friday night (October 28) and attacked Paul Pelosi there. Nancy Pelosi first commented on the incident a day later. “Yesterday morning a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to see me and brutally assaulted my husband Paul,” she said in her statement. “Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on him.”
Paul Pelosi was injured in the attack and then taken to a hospital, a spokesman for the Democrats previously announced. He is said to have subsequently undergone surgery for a fractured skull and serious injuries to his right arm and hands. As reported by the US broadcaster CNN, citing a police spokesman, the intruder attacked Pelosi with a hammer. The officers could have overpowered the perpetrator and then arrested him. He pleaded not guilty in court.
