Sanchez, who was in Indianapolis to cover Sunday’s Colts-Raiders game for Fox Sports, was stabbed several times in the chest and rushed to the hospital in a critical condition following the incident at around 12:30 a.m. on Saturday.

His condition has since been upgraded to stable.

Accounts from witnesses, the victim, and the police paint Sanchez as the aggressor, after he allegedly body-slammed the truck driver, who was collecting grease from nearby restaurants.

Sanchez is also accused of stabbing the man in the face.
