"Tole also stabbed Sanchez several times in the fight, according to police. A picture of Tole circulating online shows him in a neck brace on a hospital bed, covered in blood with a deep slash to the side of his face. In an email, Fox Sports declined to comment on the lawsuit. Attorneys representing Sanchez in his criminal case also declined to comment on the lawsuit."
"A police affidavit says the 38-year-old Sanchez, smelling of alcohol, accosted Tole, who had backed his truck into a hotel's loading docks in downtown Indianapolis. Tole's lawsuit said Sanchez entered Tole's truck without permission, then physically blocked and shoved Tole, who then doused Sanchez with pepper spray. When Sanchez advanced after being sprayed, Tole pulled a knife to defend himself, authorities said."
Perry Tole, a 69-year-old truck driver, filed a lawsuit in Indiana state court seeking unspecified actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees against Mark Sanchez and Fox Corporation. The complaint alleges Sanchez instigated a fight outside a downtown Indianapolis hotel that resulted in severe permanent disfigurement, loss of function, other injuries, and emotional distress. Police say Tole stabbed Sanchez several times; photos show Tole in a neck brace with a deep slash to his face. Prosecutors charged Sanchez with felony battery and several misdemeanors related to a parking dispute. Fox Sports and defense attorneys declined to comment.
