Perry Tole, a 69-year-old truck driver, claims he stabbed Sanchez in the chest in self-defense after the drunk former NFL star attacked him at a hotel loading dock last weekend.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (ADAMS) – Former NFL quarterback and Fox Sports analyst Mark Sanchez is out of the hospital and facing charges of battery resulting in injury, public intoxication, and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle after he was seriously injured in a stabbing in Indianapolis.
Sanchez was charged early Sunday morning with the misdemeanors after police reviewed video footage of a fight between him and another man who was collecting used cooking oil for work.

Sanchez was in Indianapolis to cover Sunday’s Colts and Raiders game.
