Footage from FOX59/CBS4 captured the moment he entered the facility for a formal procedure, looking alert yet composed following his discharge from the medical facility.
His booking photo was taken shortly after this – a new twist in the shocking incident that occurred more than a week ago in downtown Indianapolis.
Sanchez noted, thanks to
first aidand the medical team that treated him.
He stated that 'he is just thankful to be alive' and gave credit to his surgeon for saving his life.
The ex-quarterback was hospitalized since October 4 after attacking a 69-year-old truck driver in an alley behind a hotel.
Reports say he became enraged when the driver backed his truck onto the street for an oil change.
During the altercation, Sanchez allegedly pinned Perry Tool against the wall and threw him to the ground.
He also allegedly knocked the 69-year-old driver down, after which he himself sustained several stab wounds to his torso before being rushed to the hospital.
Video recordings show the former QB behaving erratically half an hour before the attack.
Sanchez was in Indianapolis to comment on the Colts vs. Raiders game for Fox Sports when this incident occurred.
Sanchez now faces a series of charges, including battery resulting in serious bodily injury, which is a level 5 felony.
He is also charged with battery resulting in bodily injury, unauthorized entry into a vehicle, and public intoxication endangering others.
Authorities added a felony assault case last week, claiming Sanchez was the aggressor in the fight.
According to legal documents, the elderly driver sustained serious injuries during the conflict.
