A Jersey City man stabbed outside his home Tuesday night was rushed to the Jersey City Medical Center and into surgery, officials said.

Police responded to the hospital at 8:30 p.m. and spoke to the 49-year-old Boyd Avenue man, who said he was standing on the sidewalk outside his apartment when he was attacked, reports said.
