The assailant, identified by San Francisco police as David DePape, 42, confronted Paul Pelosi and shouted “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” before attacking him, the person said.
Police were dispatched to the house for an “A-priority well-being check” in the early morning hours and found Paul Pelosi, 82, and an intruder struggling over a hammer, San Francisco police chief William Scott said. The man then struck Pelosi in the head and body before being subdued and arrested.
Paul Pelosi was hospitalized with his injuries, the speaker’s office said.
DePape is in custody and will be charged with a variety of felonies, including attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse, Scott said. He said the motive for the attack was still being investigated.
Nancy Pelosi, also 82, was under protection in Washington at the time but is now on the way to San Francisco, a person familiar with the matter said. As speaker, she is second in line to the presidency after Vice President Kamala Harris.
The attempted attack on the speaker highlights increased concern among lawmakers over risks to their safety in a bitterly contentious political environment.
