Fox Sports addressed the hospitalization and arrest of analyst Mark Sanchez this weekend.
Sanchez was arrested Saturday for his alleged role in a stabbing incident in downtown Indianapolis.
“Fox NFL Kickoff” host Charissa Thompson acknowledged the situation Sunday morning.
“Friday night in Indianapolis, one of our team members, Mark Sanchez, was involved in an incident that we are still trying to wrap our heads around, and at this time, our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, his family, and all of those involved.”
The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office announced on Sunday that Sanchez was charged with battery with injury, public intoxication and unlawful entry of a vehicle.
According to Fox 59, Sanchez, 38, got into an altercation with a 69-year-old grease disposal truck operator after Sanchez was upset that the truck was blocking an alley.
The other person in the incident told police that he initially tried to defend himself against Sanchez with pepper spray. Then, he allegedly used a knife to defend himself.
Sanchez was in Indianapolis to cover Sunday’s Colts-Raiders game.
