Talented but troubled Giants wideout Plaxico Burress, adding to his litany of off-field woes, accidentally shot himself in the leg on Friday night, a source told the Daily News on Saturday.

Burress, 31, spent the night at a Manhattan hospital with the self-inflicted wound, according to the source. The injury was described only as non-life-threatening, and details of the accident remained sketchy.

Burress' erratic antics already cost him $204,000 in fines this year. He was suspended for one game after going AWOL and benched for the first quarter of another game after skipping medical treatment.

Among his fines was a $45,000 penalty imposed by the NFL for verbally abusing an official.
