The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department now says Mark Sanchez has been arrested for his alleged role in the incident during which he was stabbed early Saturday morning.
In what can only be described as a crazy and strange situation, former NFL quarterback and current Fox Sports broadcaster Mark Sanchez has been arrested after he was hospitalized and is in stable condition after being stabbed in Indianapolis early Saturday morning. Sanchez was scheduled to be part of the broadcast crew for Sunday’s game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Sanchez was arrested at the hospital and charged with battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication, all of which are misdemeanors.
Sanchez, 38, played eight seasons in the NFL after being selected fifth overall by the New York Jets in the 2009 draft out of USC.
Sanchez also played for the Philadelphia Eagles (2014-15), Dallas Cowboys, and Washington, last appearing in a regular-season game for the Commanders in 2018.
In 2014 with Philadelphia, Sanchez went 4-4 as the Eagles‘ starting quarterback in nine games and eight starts. He threw for 2,418 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions with a 64.0 completion percentage, while rushing for 87 yards and one touchdown, with a career-high 88.4 passer rating.
