Bodycam footage shows moment of Paul Pelosi attack

Body-camera footage shows the moment police arrive at Paul Pelosi's door and confront the attacker last October.

Its release follows a San Francisco court ruling that the district attorney's office must make the materials public.

Alleged attacker David DePape has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges.

The video shows San Francisco police entering Mr Pelosi's home on the night of 28 October, where they see Mr DePape and Mr Pelosi both holding a hammer.
They direct him to drop the hammer before the attack occurs.

In a statement on Friday, Mrs Pelosi said she has "absolutely no intention of seeing the deadly assault on my husband's life".

"I won't be making any more statements about this case, as it proceeds, except to again, thank people [for well-wishes] and inform them of Paul's progress," she said.

Court documents filed last year allege Mr DePape had planned to hold Mrs Pelosi - a Californian congresswoman who was not home at the time of the attack - hostage and break "her kneecaps" if she "lied" to him.
