Cleanthony Early thanked fans for their support and expressed relief for having avoided serious injury after he was shot in the knee during a robbery.

"I got shot but ironically I dodge[d] a bullet," Early wrote on Instagram. "It could have been way worse and I'm thankful and grateful that it wasn't."

Several masked robbers boxed in Early's cab with their vehicles as he left a Queens strip club early Wednesday morning.

The bullet went through Early and was not lodged in his knee, according to sources, and there was no major structural damage to his knee. Surgery will not be necessary at this point.
