TIMES SQUARE — They couldn’t ketchup to these troublemakers.

A pair of suspects terrorized a Duane Reade last month, squirting ketchup on an employee and hurling a ketchup bottle at a shopper inside the store, police said. 

The duo went into the store at 1627 Broadway, at West 50th Street, around 4:15 p.m. on Aug. 19, squirted the condiment on a 53-year-old employee and ran out, the NYPD said.

Not long after, the two went back into the store and threw a ketchup bottle at someone else inside the store, missing their target, police said.

Police did not provide the ages or genders of the suspects, who fled the store after throwing the bottle.

No one was injured, the NYPD said.

A manager working at the Duane Reade on Friday confirmed that the incident but declined to comment on it.

No one had been arrested as of Monday.
