A man was stabbed in the neck Friday night outside the Kroger in Carytown and was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, authorities said.

Officers were summoned shortly before 8 p.m. for a report of a fight in the parking lot outside the grocery store near the intersection of West Cary and South Nansemond streets, said Richmond police Capt. Emmett Williams.

The victim was taken to a hospital and went straight into surgery, Williams said.

The suspect, described only as a man wearing a tank top, was seen running east through Carytown.
