A new video of former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, soaked in blood after a stabbing, has gone viral. In the footage obtained by The Post, the 38-year-old is seen staggering on the footpath, clutching a wound just below his chest as blood soaks through his shirt. Have a look:
Authorities say the incident occurred just after midnight, when Sanchez allegedly attacked a 69-year-old grease truck driver, who retaliated by stabbing Sanchez multiple times. Sanchez stumbled from an alley into a nearby bar, where the owner immediately called paramedics.

TMZ Sports captured images of Sanchez shirtless on a gurney as EMTs rushed him to an ambulance. The truck driver was also pictured being led to an emergency vehicle with a towel covering his face. Police maintained a heavy presence around the scene shortly after the altercation.
The legal fallout escalated Monday, as prosecutors filed a Level 5 felony charge of battery involving serious bodily injury against the ex-New York Jets quarterback. Previously, he faced three misdemeanors: battery resulting in physical injury, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication. The felony carries a potential prison sentence of one to six years.
Court records and police reports allege Sanchez smelled of alcohol and was slurring his words during the confrontation. The altercation reportedly occurred as Sanchez was scheduled to cover an NFL game in Indianapolis as a Fox Sports analyst.
