A 69-year-old who was allegedly assaulted by Mark Sanchez in Indianapolis and then stabbed the former Jets quarterback has been pictured bloody and battered in his hospital bed.

Grisly photos show the alleged victim, who reportedly got into an altercation with Sanchez shortly after midnight on Saturday morning, wearing a neck brace and covered in blood, with savage wounds to his cheek and jaw.

“His family says he was cut in the fight and it went through his cheek and hit his tongue,” Fox59 anchor Angela Ganote said, sharing the pictures on social media.

The grease truck driver, identified solely by his initials PT, had reportedly parked his truck in an alley while he was collecting cooking oil from a nearby hotel when Sanchez approached him, according to an affidavit seen by Fox59.

“PT did not have his hearing aids in because his truck is very loud when he is exchanging the frying oil for the hotel, so he had to lean in close to Mr Sanchez to hear him,” the affidavit reads.

“When PT leaned in, he stated that Mr Sanchez smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred,” the affidavit continues.

Shortly afterward, the 6-foot-2, 230-pound Sanchez, 38, allegedly hurled the driver against a wall before throwing him to the ground, at which point the driver said he stabbed the Fox Sports analyst in self-defense.

Just after midnight

• A grease truck driver picking up cooking oil from a nearby hotel parks his truck in the loading dock, blocking the alley where Sanchez is doing sprints.
