Mark Sanchez has been booked into an Indianapolis jail on Sunday morning after he was finally released from the hospital — more than a week after he allegedly assaulted an elderly truck driver in an altercation that resulted in the former Jets quarterback being stabbed.
Video shows a limping Sanchez, 38, with his arm in a sling, entering the Marion County Jail to be fingerprinted and have his mugshot taken, Fox 59 reported.
Leaving the jail, he told reporters he was “focused on his recovery,” as he thanked first responders and the hospital staff, further video shows.
He can now leave the state of Indiana after he was charged with felony battery and several misdemeanors following the shocking incident in Indianapolis on the morning of Oct. 4.
Sanchez, who was in Naptown to cover last Sunday’s Colts-Raiders NFL clash, allegedly body-slammed a 69-year-old grease truck driver in after confronting him for blocking the alley.
The retired QB was also reportedly seen behaving erratically on surveillance video in the half an hour before the attack.
Perry Tole, the truck driver, said he stabbed Sanchez in self-defense after he feared the ex-pro athlete was going to kill him.
Tole has sued Sanchez and his employer Fox Sports, which put him on leave.
