Publicist: Jean fine after bullet grazing

NEW YORK, March 21 (UPI) -- Wyclef Jean's publicist says the recording star is fine after his hand was grazed by a bullet in Haiti during the weekend.

The former Fugees singer sustained the injury Saturday night while he was in Port-au-Prince for the runoff election for president between musician Michel "Sweet Micky" Martelly and former first lady Mirlande Manigat.

Jean was treated for his wound at a hospital, then released.

"Fortunately, Wyclef is fine, undeterred by the incident and looking forward to his return home to finish his forthcoming album," publicist Derek Johnson said in a statement issued to MTV.com Monday.

Jean would not comment on whether he thought he was specifically targeted.

"I can't even speculate," MTV.com quoted him as saying.

The incident is under investigation, police said.

Jean last year announced plans to run for president of Haiti, however, he did not meet the residency requirements. He subsequently backed Martelly's campaign.

Results of the runoff election are expected to be announced April 16.
