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.
