Former NFL QB turned TV analyst Mark Sanchez was stabbed after he allegedly assaulted a worker who was dropping off cooking oil at an Indianapolis hotel in a bizarre attack authorities say "never should have happened."

Prosecutors early Sunday released a probable cause affidavit that shined light on how the 38-year-old retired football star ended up stabbed — and then arrested.

It all unfolded shortly after 12:30 a.m. Saturday when officers arrived at Loughmiller's Pub and Eatery in downtown Indianapolis. When they arrived, they discovered the 38-year-old Sanchez suffering from several stab wounds to the upper torso. In a nearby alley between two hotels, they found a 69-year-old man with a laceration to his left cheek.
