Footage of the attack on former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, as well as the 911 phone call were released to the public Friday after a judge on Wednesday denied prosecutors' request to keep it secret.

Video shows the husband of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi fighting for control of a hammer with his assailant during a brutal attack in the couple's San Francisco home last year. The body-camera footage shows suspect David DePape wrest the tool from 82-year-old Paul Pelosi and lunge toward him with the hammer over his head.

The blow to Pelosi occurs out of view and the officers - one of them cursing - rush into the house and jump on DePape. The San Francisco District Attorney's Office had refused to make the exhibits available to journalists. A state court judge Wednesday ruled there was no reason to keep the video secret.
