A supporter was killed and 13 others were injured in what his party called an "assassination attempt" on the former cricketer.
The attack happened during his ongoing march to Islamabad at Gujranwala district, about 200 km from the capital, against the army establishment-backed central government.
With his right leg bandaged, Khan, 70, was seen waving as he was shifted into an SUV. He was later reported to be "out of danger".
