MAPUTO, Mozambique, April 24 (UPI) -- Actor Leonardo DiCaprio was taken from the Mozambique set of "The Blood Diamond" to a South African hospital with an injury that turned out to be minor.

"It was a minor injury. He was running when it happened," publicist Robert Harris told the BBC of the Friday incident. "We took him to (a) hospital in South Africa because we just wanted to make sure he was OK, and that done, he is now back to work."

DiCaprio spent about two hours at the Nelspruit Medi-Clinic near Kruger National Park Friday and was back on the set Saturday in Maputo, Mozambique.

DiCaprio is working with director Edward Zwick on the film about diamond smuggling.
