Police, meanwhile, say they are no closer to solving the shooting that happened in a crowded nightclub on the eve of MTV's Video Music Awards.

Knight, 40, was released late last week from the Mt. Sinai Medical Center, a spokesman told E! Online Tuesday. The spokesman said privacy laws prohibit the release of any further information.

Knight's bone in his right upper leg was shattered by a bullet fired by an unknown assailant during a star-studded party for rapper Kanye West at the tony Shore Club.

Police have said their investigation has been stymied by a lack of witnesses willing to come forward.
