TIMES SQUARE — This Hulk was not so incredible.

A green-costumed menace was arrested outside the Broadway Toys ”R” Us, near West 44th Street, on Sunday after he tried to shake down tourists for money, police sources said.

Junior Bishop, 26, who gained notoriety in July 2014 after fighting with a costumed Batman while dressed as Spider-Man and then punching a police officer in the face, was arrested again after trying to get cash from people who wanted pictures with him around 3:40 p.m., sources said.

Police warned Bishop that he couldn’t request tips for photos and he flew into a rage, screaming obscenities and making an offensive gesture, law-enforcement sources said.

He was charged with disorderly conduct.
