""The police affidavit, drawing on video footage from a Marriott hotel, describes Sanchez "grabbing and throwing" a 69-year-old truck driver who had parked his vehicle in an alley, near a loading dock, in order to collect used cooking oil. The man told police that he pepper-sprayed Sanchez, and thought, "This guy is trying to kill me," before stabbing Sanchez with a knife.""
""We are literally talking about people fighting about a parking spot," Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said during a press conference on Monday, per the Indianapolis Star. "What began as a disagreement between a 38-year-old former professional athlete and a 69-year-old man should not have escalated into violence or left anyone seriously injured. As with any case, we will follow the facts and the law wherever they lead," Mears said.""
Mark Sanchez will face at least one felony charge after a fight outside a pub in Indianapolis on Oct. 4 that culminated in his being stabbed. He was initially charged with three misdemeanors—battery resulting in injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle—and the battery count was upgraded to a felony for serious bodily injury. Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said the dispute involved a parking spot and should not have escalated into serious injury. A police affidavit citing Marriott hotel video describes Sanchez grabbing and throwing a 69-year-old truck driver; the man pepper-sprayed Sanchez and then stabbed him, saying he thought Sanchez was trying to kill him. Sanchez was arrested at the hospital and reported memory gaps, telling a detective he remembered only grabbing for a window. By the afternoon, ESPN reporter Adam Schefter reported Sanchez was stabbed and in stable condition and circulated a Fox statement.
