Mark Sanchez Charged After Altercation in Indianapolis
Former New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez was charged by police on Saturday following a violent incident involving a 69-year-old food delivery driver outside a downtown pub in Indianapolis.
According to reports, Sanchez, now 38 and working as a Fox Sports analyst, confronted the delivery driver near the Pub & Eater in Rough Miller shortly after midnight, demanding that the car be moved. When the driver struggled to comply, he reportedly used pepper spray on Sanchez. The situation escalated, and the driver ended up stabbing Sanchez in the chest after the pepper spray didn’t seem effective.
Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police responded to the scene around 12:30 am, where they found two adult men involved in the altercation. One had sustained a stab wound, while the other appeared injured as well. Both men were treated, but the one with the stab wound is currently hospitalized in stable condition. Police reviewed surveillance footage and plan to forward their findings to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office for further action.
After consulting with prosecutors, Sanchez was arrested on charges that include battery and illegal entry into a vehicle. As of now, he remains hospitalized and has not been formally booked, as the prosecutor’s office is still determining the next steps.
Sanchez was in town for a Fox Sports assignment, planning to cover the Colts-Riders game at Lucas Oil Stadium. The network confirmed that he is presently hospitalized and released a statement thanking the medical staff, emphasizing the importance of respecting the privacy of Sanchez and his family during this time.
In the statement, Fox expressed gratitude for the care provided to Sanchez and mentioned, “Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark.”
Mark Sanchez was drafted in 2009 and had a successful NFL career, leading the Jets to back-to-back AFC Championship appearances and still holding several franchise playoff records. After injuries led to his retirement in 2019, he transitioned to broadcasting, initially working with ABC before joining FOX.
