Reports: Former NFL QB Mark Sanchez Stabbed in Downtown Indy

INDIANAPOLIS — Former NFL Quarterback and FOX NFL commentator Mark Sanchez was stabbed early Saturday morning in downtown Indianapolis.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said officers responded to the 300 block of W. Washington Street just after 12:30 a.m.

When officers arrived, they found one person had been stabbed and another was injured. Police said the stabbing victim, later confirmed to be Sanchez, is now stable after he was taken to a hospital in critical condition. The other person had “lacerations” and was reported to be “awake and breathing.”

Officers said it was an isolated incident between the two men and not a random act of violence. Reports from the scene indicate that Sanchez may not have been cooperative with police, but all of those details are still under investigation.

Sanchez was in Indianapolis to be on the Fox TV broadcast to call the game between the Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

It is the practice of the IMPD Public Affairs Office to not identify victims or suspects in incidents unless the suspect is arrested, charged, or being sought.
