MANHATTAN — A man was shot in the stomach Monday at the same Midtown nightclub where Giants star Plaxico Burress shot himself in 2008, cops said.

The man, whose identity was not released, was rushed to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition after he was shot on the lower level of LQ, at 511 Lexington Ave., about 4 a.m., police said.

An FDNY spokesman said the man was 25 years old.

Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg at the club in 2008. He spent nearly two years in prison on charges of criminal possession of a weapon and reckless endangerment.

It was not immediately clear what sparked Monday's shooting. Police said no one was immediately arrested.

Detectives were reviewing the nightclub's security footage Monday morning, cops said.

A staffer who answered the club's phone declined to comment.
