Pelosi, who has been on the campaign trail for House Democrats, was not in San Francisco at the time. As speaker of the House she has a full time security detail with her but her husband would not have federal protection.
'The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time,' Hammill said.
More details on the incident were not immediately available.
