A representative for Mann confirmed the news of the incident to People magazine.
“On Saturday, at a gun range, a weapon accidentally discharged while holstered, resulting in a superficial injury to film director Michael Mann. He was treated and is being released,” Mann’s spokesperson told the outlet.
