A Turkish pop singer has escaped injury after his car was hit by gunfire in Istanbul.

Berkay Şahin -- a relatively new star in the Turkish music scene -- was driving in the city's Beşiktas district early Saturday when two individuals on a motorbike fired shots at his vehicle.

The singer -- winner of the 'Best New Artist' category in the 2011 Golden Butterfly Television Awards -- was unhurt. The two assailants fled the scene.

According to police, the 34-year-old performer said he does not know who may have carried out the attack.

Forensic officers were later at the scene, examining the car and area for clues.

Police are hunting the two attackers.
