Paul Pelosi was left hospitalized as home intruder David DePape attacked him with a hammer after breaking into U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home.

Following the former's hospitalization, an audio of his 911 call during the invasion went viral on social media. According to CNN, Pelosi called 911 and spoke to the dispatcher in "code language."

He reportedly did not mention that he was under attack but managed to inform the emergency dispatcher that he was in trouble. As per Politico, Pelosi was able to contact officials after telling the intruder he needed to use the washroom, where the phone was charging.

San Francisco Police Department Chief Bill Scott praised the dispatcher for her quick understanding of the situation and rapid intervention:

"Based on her experience and her intuition, she basically figured out that there was something more to this incident than what she was being told. Her actions, in my opinion, resulted in both a higher priority dispatch and a faster police response. I think this was life-saving."

However, the cryptic audio of the 911 call left netizens confused, and many dubbed the situation as "weird":
