Sanchez attacked a 69 year old man who was on the job?

https://fox59.com/news/indycrime/former-nfl-qb-mark-sanchez-charged-after-surveillance-video-shows-alleged-fight-in-downtown-indy-alley/

Sanchez faces misdemeanor criminal charges of Battery Resulting in Injury, Public Intoxication, and Unlawful Entry of a Motor Vehicle for his alleged role in the altercation.

According to newly released court documents, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police were called to Loughmiller’s Pub and Eatery on West Washington Street around 12:35 a.m. When officers arrived, they found Sanchez suffering from several stab wounds to his upper torso.

A second man was found in a nearby alley with cuts to his face. This 69-year-old man was working between the Westin Hotel and the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown, collecting used cooking oil as part of his job.

Video shows the men circling the truck before a struggle broke out near a large dumpster. Detectives say Sanchez threw the victim toward the dumpster, and the two fought between the truck and the wall. The 69-year-old told police he used pepper spray to defend himself, but when Sanchez continued advancing, he thought “this guy is trying to kill me” and pulled out a knife and stabbed Sanchez several times in self-defense.

According to the court documents, video gathered from the nearby Marriott hotel “closely matches” the victim’s account.

Updated video from ABC....Question for Bob....assuming Sanchez is found guilty/pleads guilty, does the 69 year old worker have a possible civil case against him?  Fox Sports?

Admittedly I have not watched the clip you posted so the answer to my question may lie in there, but why would he have a civil suit against Fox Sports?  Against Sanchez, 100%, but I'm not sure how you could spin this into a suit against Fox Sports.

not sure what responsibility Fox has as his employer as he was in town for company business to serve as an analyst for the Sunday Colts/Raiders game.  

No attempt to spin anything...just curious as an employer and he's in town for work, would they possibly share any accountability with the behavior of their employees?

It seems unlikely he’s within the scope of his duties as a broadcaster at 12:30 am on a Saturday morning, but I imagine you wouldn’t have to try very hard to come up with some facts that might make it a close question.

that's a fair point and why I asked, as I have no clue.  I started asking myself if I were on a business trip for my company and during an evening got myself in trouble, does my employer share any responsibility?  Probably not, but not sure.  They sure have deeper pockets and an image to protect.

I always asked myself "why would I take a chance on getting into trouble while on a business trip?". 34 years on the road and never had 1 incident.

National news still covered for him until the charges were escalated.

Mike Florio talked a little bit about employer liability yesterday since Fox is now a named defendant in a civil suit filed Monday.

It’s normal for charges to get upgraded as the factual picture becomes clearer and evidence supporting elements of different or more severe crimes emerges.

It was talked about on the radio this afternoon that charges could be amended prior to his initial court appearance. Since he posted $300 bond from his hospital bed, he has not been before a judge.
