After Indianapolis Stabbing, Mark Sanchez Arrested on Misdemeanor Counts

Prosecutors now weigh charges after a late-night downtown altercation captured on video.

Overview

  • Fox Sports says the former NFL quarterback is hospitalized in stable condition following a stabbing in downtown Indianapolis shortly after 12:30 a.m.
  • IMPD arrested Sanchez at the hospital on alleged misdemeanor counts of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication, and he has not been booked.
  • Police describe the encounter as an isolated incident between two non-local men, with one suffering stab wounds and the other lacerations.
  • Detectives reviewed surveillance footage and will present the case to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office for a charging decision as the investigation continues.
  • Local reporting cites the other man’s claim of self-defense and that Sanchez was the aggressor, a contested account not adopted by police; Sanchez was in town for a Fox broadcast and will not work the game.
