According to reports, Tole was on his recycling route when Sanchez, in town to call a Colts-Raiders game for Fox Sports, confronted him for blocking an alley where Sanchez had been running sprints. An argument ensued, during which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illegal-alien-arrested-for-violent-carjackings-shooting-16-year-old-boy\/\" title=\"Illegal Alien Arrested for Violent Carjackings, Shooting 16-Year-Old Boy\">sanchez allegedly<\/a> tried to enter tole&#8217;s truck and chased him down, cornering him near a dumpster. Tole first used pepper spray,then stabbed Sanchez two to three times in the chest in self-defense. Video footage showed Sanchez bleeding and collapsing at a bar, where a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >bartender helped slow<\/a> his bleeding until medical assistance arrived. Both men sustained injuries, with tole suffering a deep cheek gash. Sanchez was charged with felony battery with serious bodily injury and other misdemeanors, facing up to six years in prison if convicted. Tole&#8217;s friend emphasized that Tole is a peaceful man who only acted out of fear and had no knowledge of Sanchez&#8217;s identity before the incident.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An Indianapolis man says faith led him to defend himself after former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez allegedly attacked him last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>WXIN <a href=\"https:\/\/fox59.com\/news\/faith-guided-my-hands-to-protect-myself-man-recalls-stabbing-ex-quarterback-during-downtown-indy-incident\/?fbclid=IwY2xjawNVBCBleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFFQ0ZVdWo2dWRQcW9veTc4AR5gIxmm_QWMOeptpZlsCBa7SZrN7zh7FOI_mNm_4S6jgUri5UB71d2ylFlNfw_aem_Varmhv8VSPAFv9zvDhsEzQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that 69-year-old Perry Tole was on his overnight route collecting cooking oil to recycle when he encountered Sanchez, who was in town to call the Colts-Raiders game for Fox Sports.<\/p>\n<p>Tole had parked his recycling truck in an alley between two hotels when Sanchez confronted him about blocking the area where the former quarterback had been running sprints.<\/p>\n<p>According to police and surveillance video, an argument erupted as both men recorded each other on their phones.<\/p>\n<p>Sanchez allegedly tried to enter Tole&rsquo;s truck, chased him down, and cornered him near a dumpster.<\/p>\n<p>  <script> console.log(\"A\/B Test Video Player\");
