RICHMOND, Calif. – Neighbors of the man accused of attacking and severely injuring Paul Pelosi during the early morning hours of Oct. 28 say that he is "odd" and claim his intention was to "traumatize Nancy Pelosi."

David DePape, 42, faces a slew of felony charges in relation to the attack, which required Paul Pelosi to undergo surgery to repair a skull fracture in addition to other injuries.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced the charges – including attempted murder, residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse, among others – during a news conference Monday.

Jenkins said DePape broke into the Pelosis' residence through a rear glass door and entered a bedroom where Paul Pelosi was sleeping. Paul Pelosi tried to use a phone in the couple's in-home elevator, but according to Jenkins, DePape blocked him from doing so.

Paul Pelosi was able to escape to a bathroom and dial 911, according to Jenkins.
