President Trump has expressed his shock at the stabbing and arrest of Mark Sanchez, describing him as “a nice guy,” but adding that “something a little crazy” happened to the former Jets quarterback.
Sanchez, 38, was hospitalized early Saturday morning after being stabbed in the chest following an altercation with a grease truck driver outside an Indianapolis bar.
Trump said he knew the Fox Sports analyst and was stunned to hear the news of the attack and subsequent felony charges.
“He’s a nice guy. I don’t know what happened. Something bad happened. Something a little crazy happened,” Trump told Newsmax’s “Greg Kelly Reports” on Monday.
“I can only report that he was a nice guy. I know him a little bit,” he added.
Sanchez was charged with battery after the fight on Sunday, with one of the charges upgraded to a felony on Monday.
If found guilty, he faces up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
