Mark Sanchez Returns to Social Media With Family Message After Indianapolis Stabbing

His post comes with felony charges pending alongside a civil lawsuit in the Indianapolis case.

Overview

  • On Dec. 5, the former Fox Sports analyst shared photos of wife Perry Mattfeld and their twin daughters and wrote that he is grateful to be home.
  • Sanchez was stabbed during an October altercation with 69-year-old delivery driver Perry Tole in downtown Indianapolis, then was arrested in his hospital bed after police reviewed surveillance video.
  • He now faces one felony count of battery resulting in serious bodily injury plus three misdemeanors and awaits trial.
  • Tole has filed a civil suit that also names Fox Sports and St. Elmo Steak House, alleging the restaurant overserved Sanchez and that Tole acted in self-defense.
  • Fox terminated Sanchez and hired Drew Brees as his full-time replacement, and Sanchez’s family says their focus remains his health and recovery.
