The truck driver who stabbed former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez in a violent scuffle over a parking spot is suing him, as well as his current employer, Fox.
Perry Tole, 69, filed the lawsuit in Indiana state court on Monday, seeking an unknown amount in damages and attorneys’ fees, the Associated Press reported.
Mediaite has reached out to the Fox Corporation for comment. Sanchez’s attorneys would not comment when reached by the AP.
The former New York Jets quarterback has been employed by Fox as an analyst since 2021.
Sanchez, 38, allegedly attacked Tole, a delivery truck driver after arguing with him over a parking spot. Toll reportedly told cops he used pepper spray on Sanchez to stop him, but when that didn’t work, he pulled a knife in self-defense, stabbing Sanchez several times.
Sanchez was hospitalized, and then later arrested for his role in the brawl. He has been charged with felony battery, and two misdemeanors — unlawful entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication.
Sanchez, who was in the area to call Sunday’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Las Vegas Raiders, may now face one to six years in prison, Marion County prosecutor Ryan Mears told reporters earlier this week.
