The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said on X that a man was stabbed during a "physical disturbance" between two men around 12:30 a.m. The person who was stabbed was taken to a hospital and remained in stable condition, police said.

Police later said in an update that Sanchez, 38, was arrested at the hospital on charges of battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication, which are misdemeanors.

Police did not detail exactly what occurred during the incident. They said Sanchez remained hospitalized and has not been booked into jail.

"The Marion County Prosecutor's Office will make the final charging decision," the police department said.

Police said that everyone involved in the incident has been identified, and that no one else is being sought.

Fox Sports confirmed Saturday on X that Sanchez was injured in Indianapolis Saturday and that he was in stable condition at a hospital.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family's privacy during this time," Fox Sports' statement said.

An agent for Sanchez declined to comment on the incident before police released details of his arrest.The agent and Fox Sports said they had no further comment after police said that Sanchez had been arrested.

In its earlier statement, which did not name the people involved, police said they believed the incident was isolated and "not a random act of violence."

Police said that both men involved were not local residents and have received medical treatment following the assault.

The investigation into the incident is ongoing, police said, adding that detectives have seen video footage of it.

Sanchez, a California native, spent the majority of his NFL career with the New York Jets, who drafted him in 2009. He spent four seasons in New York before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles. Sanchez also spent time with the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears before retiring from the league in 2019.

Later articles gave more detail. Sanchez got what he deserved.

The altercation began, via the story posted by Michaela Springer of WISHTV.com, when Sanchez told the driver that he couldn’t stop his truck where it was parked . Sanchez added that he had spoken to the manager of the hotel. The victim said he would call his own manager to figure out what was happening.
Sanchez then climbed up into the cab of the truck. He leaned over the driver’s seat, and he looked in toward the middle area between the seats.

The victim told Sanchez he wasn’t allowed inside the truck. Sanchez, who per the victim smelled of alcohol and slurred his words, “kept repeating that he had spoken to a manager, and they did not want [victim] to [replace the fryer oil].”

Security footage shows that Sanchez followed the victim as he walked around the truck and attempted to get the attention of a hotel security guard. Sanchez then blocked the victim’s effort to get inside the truck. The surveillance footage shows Sanchez shoving the victim backward.

From the quotes in the article published by the Star , Sanchez was seen throwing the victim against a wall and then to the ground.

At one point, the victim sprayed Sanchez in the face with pepper spray. From the affidavit: “The pepper spray appeared to have an effect on Mr. Sanchez for a moment, but [he] wiped his face and again advanced toward [the victim].”
The victim then became fearful that Sanchez would kill him. He reached for his knife and stabbed Sanchez “two or three times” in the chest. Sanchez reacted with a “look of shock” and left the scene.

The victim was a 69-year-old truck driver. Sanchez decided to play security guard while drunk.

Nothing good happens in public after midnight, especially when alcohol is involved.

Sanchez is most remembered for The Butt Fumble. A play where as Quarterback he ran into the rear end of a offensive lineman on his team and fumbled the ball that was ran in for a touchdown by the other team
