INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — FOX Sports analyst and former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez has been arrested after he was injured in an altercation in Indianapolis Saturday, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.

Around 12:30 a.m. Saturday, IMPD officers were dispatched near Senate Avenue and West Washington Street on a report of an incident involving two men. The incident resulted in a man receiving lacerations and the other sustaining injuries consistent with stab wounds. Detectives believe this was an isolated incident between the two men.
