Lawyer: Mark Sanchez incident victim ‘grateful to be alive’

On Monday, the 69-year-old truck driver who was injured in a weekend altercation with former NFL quarterback and current Fox analyst Mark Sanchez filed a lawsuit against Sanchez and Fox. On Tuesday, Perry Tole’s lawyers made their first public comments on the situation.

Attorney Erik May told ABC News that Tole is “grateful to be alive and recovering at home with his wife.”

“We can see the photos that he has a huge wound, a cut on his face,” May said, adding that the laceration affected his jaw, mouth and tongue.

“The scars that he has and will have, it’s affecting his speech right now,” May said. “Obviously he’s in a lot of pain, he’s got a lot of swelling… Mentally, what he and his wife are going through is considerable. He’s really shaken up.”

Attorney Eddie Reichart said Tole’s son was scheduled to get married this weekend and Tole would not be able to attend.

Tole’s case will play out in Indiana’s civil justice system, while the prosecution of Sanchez (who faces a felony charge and multiple misdemeanors) will play out in Indiana’s criminal justice system.
