Pelosi herself was not in San Francisco at the time of the attack, Hammill said.
"The speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time," he added.
As noted by Axios, the "alleged attack comes amid an uptick in threats against members of Congress and a series of security incidents over the summer."
