Paul Pelosi released from hospital 6 days after hammer attack
Paul Pelosi was released from a San Francisco hospital on Thursday, nearly a week after he was attacked with a hammer by an assailant who broke into his home.
Pelosi is the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), whose office said in a statement that he is at home and "remains under doctors' care as he continues to progress on a long recovery process." Paul Pelosi underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and serious injures to his right arm and hands, and he is "grateful to the 911 operator, emergency responders, trauma care team, ICU staff, and the entire medical staff for their excellent and compassionate lifesaving treatment," the statement added.
