HELL'S KITCHEN — A trio of teens threw carrots at a carriage driver’s horse after she told them they couldn’t sit in her vehicle, police said.

The 54-year-old carriage driver, from Queens, told police she was bringing her horse back to its stable around 7 p.m. on June 21 when three teens jumped into her carriage near the northwest corner of West 52nd Street and 11th Avenue.

After the woman told the teens they couldn’t sit in the carriage without her permission, they got out and started hurling carrots at the steed, the NYPD said.

She told them to stop and managed to snap a few photos of the suspects, police said.

Police had not arrested any of the teens as of Monday.
