Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez is in stable condition after he was apparently stabbed early Saturday. He is now under arrest for his role in the incident that led to his injury.

Sanchez was in Indianapolis to work as an analyst on FOX Sports’ broadcast of the Indianapolis Colts game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. He’s been arrested by Indianapolis police on three misdemeanor charges related to the altercation.

FOX Sports announced Saturday afternoon that Sanchez was in stable condition at a local hospital.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has since announced that Sanchez was arrested at the hospital for “battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication” for his role in the altercation. All three of the offenses are misdemeanors.

5. Found this description of the incident allegedly based on the police report

I have no idea if it's true, but given that Sanchez was arrested "for his part in the incident", I would bet that he assaulted the other guy first, who responded by stabbing him.

The police report just came, according to IMPD police narrative. A individual was delivering food to the address where Sanchez was. Sanchez told the driver he couldn’t be where he was and when the driver tried to move past Sanchez, Sanchez attacked him. The delivery driver tried to get away by using mace, but it didn’t work so he then defended himself with a knife.

In case you had any doubt, yes, Sanchez is a Trump supporter.
