New video has emerged showing what Mark Sanchez was up to before he was stabbed in an altercation in Indianapolis, In.
TMZ obtained roughly 25 minutes of security footage from downtown Indianapolis in the moments leading up to the incident. Sanchez can be seen stumbling around near the alley where the confrontation happened, and he appears to be drunk and moving aimlessly.
At one point, he stands outside the alley, leaning against a wall and talking to someone without incident. After several minutes, he begins jogging down the alley toward alleged victim Perry Tole. At this point, Sanchez can no longer be seen on camera, and this is the period of time in which the alleged assault took place.
Mark Sanchez spent about 20 minutes roaming and, at times, stumbling around downtown Indianapolis before the violent encounter with his alleged victim … and this new video shows nearly all of his activity.

The video does not really offer any new clues as to what might have provoked Sanchez to attack Tole. Tole suffered significant injuries during the altercation, while Sanchez was stabbed, allegedly in self-defense.
Previous video had shown Sanchez stumbling down a sidewalk while bleeding heavily after the stabbing took place.
Sanchez is facing multiple charges, including a felony, for his role in the incident. He had been in Indianapolis to call the Colts’ Week 5 game against the Las Vegas Raiders in his role as a FOX Sports analyst.
