An intruder broke into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home early Friday morning and "violently assaulted" her husband, Paul Pelosi, who was taken to a local hospital to undergo surgery for a skull fracture.

"Earlier this morning, Paul Pelosi was attacked at home by an assailant who acted with force, and threatened his life while demanding to see the Speaker," read a statement from Drew Hammill, Speaker Pelosi's spokesman.

According to the statement, Paul Pelosi was admitted to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital where he underwent "successful surgery to repair a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands. His doctors expect a full recovery."

San Francisco Police Chief William Scott told reporters Friday afternoon that officers who responded to the Pelosi residence at 2:27 a.m. encountered an adult male and Paul Pelosi "both holding a hammer."

The suspect, who police have identified as 42-year-old David Depape, "pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it."

"Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup, and rendered medical aid," Scott said, adding both Depape and Pelosi were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
