Mark Sanchez won’t be calling an NFL game on October 5. He’s been arrested after a stabbing incident landed him in the hospital.

Former NFL star Mark Sanchez was supposed to be providing commentary for the Indianapolis Colts game on October 5, but his weekend took an odd turn in the early morning hours of October 4. Sanchez was rushed to an Indianapolis area hospital after being stabbed in what police called an “isolated incident.” Now that Mark Sanchez has been stabilized, he has been arrested and charged for his role in the attack. Here is everything we know so far.

Mark Sanchez has been arrested for his role in an October 4 stabbing incident

Mark Snachez is reportedly in stable condition less than 24 hours after being stabbed during an altercation in Indianapolis. He was stabilized after undergoing emergency surgery. While that is good news, the former NFL quarterback and current commentator has additional problems to worry about at the moment, though.

He has been arrested for his role in the incident that landed him in the hospital. According to TMZ, Mark Sanchez was arrested while still in the hospital. He has been charged with battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication.

Earlier today, Fox, which employs the commentator, issued a statement acknowledging that Sanchez was hospitalized, but opted to simply state he was “injured” in Indianapolis ahead of the Colts vs. Raiders game. They offered no additional details. Neither Sanchez nor the NFL has issued any further comment on the developing situation. Fox has replaced him with Brady Quinn for Sunday’s game, but it’s unclear if Quinn will be a stand-in for an extended period.

Who stabbed Mark Sanchez?

Shortly after news that Mark Sanchez had been stabbed hit the media, fans were quick to question how the assault happened. Initially, police indicated both Sanchez and the other party were out-of-town guests. An exact location was not provided in the initial reports. The police’s insistence that the event was “isolated” led to speculation that Sanchez had a fight with someone he knew. It turns out that was not the case.

Shortly after Mark Sanchez’s arrest, the New York Post reported that the incident, which took place around 12:30 am, occurred between Sanchez and a delivery driver he did not know. According to reports, a 69-year-old man was sitting in his vehicle when Sanchez approached him and told him to move. An altercation ensued. The driver told police that he tried to use pepper spray on Sanchez. He told police the broadcaster was agitated and aggressive. Sanchez was reportedly drunk when the incident occurred. Still, it’s unclear what prompted him to tell the driver to move his vehicle. The driver sustained cuts in the struggle.

This is a developing story.
