INDIANAPOLIS - A man was hospitalized in critical condition early Wednesday after he was stabbed at a gas station on the city's west side.

At about 5 a.m., Indianapolis Metro Police Department officers were called to the Marathon gas station on North Tibbs Avenue and Lafayette Road.

The victim was able to walk to his girlfriend's house nearby Moreland Avenue. She called 911 and he was rushed to Wishard Memorial Hospital in critical condition. He was later upgraded to good condition, dispatchers said.
