Mark Sanchez was slapped with 3 misdemeanor charges for his alleged role in Saturday’s violent altercation with a truck driver in Indiana that left the ex-football great with multiple stab wounds, according to court documents.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Sanchez approached the driver who was unloading fryer oil from his truck at a hotel loading dock.
Surveillance footage appears to show Sanchez walking to the driver’s side door and opening it, then having a conversation with the driver for several minutes. Afterward, the driver does a beeline for hotel security with Sanchez following closely behind.
The surveillance video then captures the men moving around the truck and exchanging words before the confrontation turns physical. Sanchez allegedly grabs the victim, throws him against a wall and shoves him to the ground, before running away.
The driver said Sanchez twice tried to climb into the truck and, feeling threatened, he pepper sprayed Sanchez in the face. But, Sanchez allegedly advanced on him again, prompting the driver to pull a knife and stab Sanchez multiple times.
Sanchez was rushed to a hospital with stab wounds to his upper torso. We’re told he’s still being treated at the hospital for his injuries.
What’s more, prosecutors filed a no-contact order, prohibiting Sanchez from going anywhere near the victim. The order also bars him from possessing any firearms, deadly weapons, or ammunition for the duration of the case.
