(CNN) --

The San Francisco Supreme Court on Friday released video and audio recorded during the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, last year in California.

The material includes footage from police body cameras showing the moment of the attack and the alleged attacker's police interview in which he reportedly admitted that he wanted to take Nancy Pelosi hostage.

The audio and video files were released after a California court ruled that the district attorney's office should release the material.

One of the videos shows body camera footage of officers arriving at Pelosi's home on Oct. 28, 2022, when the attack occurred.

The recording recorded the chaos of the moment in which the alleged attacker David DePape attacked Paul Pelosi.

In the video, both Paul Pelosi and DePape appear to have one hand on the hammer, and DePape is holding onto Pelosi's arm as officers open the door.

"Drop the hammer," says the agent.

"Uh, no," DePape replies.

DePape then snatches the hammer from Pelosi's hand and lunges at him.

The officers ran into the house, subdued DePape and handcuffed him.

CNN obtained the CD containing the files released by the court.

In addition to the body camera footage, there are files on audio of DePape's interviews with police, the 911 call Paul Pelosi made while DePape was at the home and surveillance video from the home, the court previously said.

In the audio of the 911 call, Pelosi appeared to be trying to subtly tell the operator that she was in danger as DePape listened.

CNN previously reported that Pelosi made the call when he walked into his bathroom, where he was charging his cell phone.

"There's a gentleman here waiting for my wife, Nancy Pelosi, to come back. She's waiting for me to come back, but she's not coming back for days, so I guess we'll just have to wait," Pelosi told the operator.

"He thinks everything is fine. I have a problem, but he thinks everything is fine," Pelosi said at another point in the 2-minute, 56-second recording.

The dispatcher asked Pelosi if she knew who the man was, and Pelosi said no.

"He tells me to hang up the phone and do what he tells me," Pelosi said.

"Who is David?" the operator asked.

"I don't know," Pelosi said.

DePape then intervened on the call.

"I'm a friend of yours," he said.

"He says he's a friend. But like I said…" Pelosi said.

"But you don't know who it is?" the dispatcher replied.

"No, ma'am," Pelosi said.

In surveillance footage, DePape is seen breaking into Pelosi's home.

The scene was captured by a US Capitol Police security camera installed at Pelosi's residence in San Francisco.

DePape's lawyers objected to the release of the video.

The videos were shown at a preliminary court hearing.

The court's decision to make the material public followed a motion by a coalition of news organizations, including CNN, which argued that the circumstances surrounding the attack on the residence of the then House speaker called for transparency.

DePape's lawyers opposed the release of the audio and video recordings, arguing that it would "irreparably harm" his right to a fair trial.

DePape has pleaded not guilty to a series of state and federal crimes related to the attack, including assault and attempted murder.

Pelosi was violently attacked with a hammer at the house he and Nancy Pelosi own last year by an assailant who was looking for the then-Speaker of the House of Representatives, according to court documents.

An event that ultimately prompted Nancy Pelosi's decision to withdraw from the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives.

Court documents reveal that DePape woke Paul Pelosi shortly after 2 a.m., carrying a large hammer and several white zip ties, and asked him, "Where's Nancy? Where's Nancy?"

He then threatened to tie up Paul Pelosi and prevented him from escaping in an elevator, according to the documents.

DePape later told him, "I can finish you off."

Following the attack, Paul Pelosi underwent surgery "to repair a fractured skull and serious injuries to his right arm and hands," a spokesperson for Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.

On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi said her husband's recovery was "one day at a time."

Hours later, she assured that she had not heard the 911 call or heard DePape's confession.

She added that she hasn't seen the video of DePape breaking in either.

"I have absolutely no intention of seeing the deadly attack on my husband's life. I will not be making any further statements on this case as it progresses, except to thank people again and update them on Paul's progress. That will be the last thing I do." I will say about the case"
