Times Sq. ‘junkie’ junction stays put

Apparent junkies remained free to shoot up with impunity at a plaza near Times Square on Wednesday morning — a day after The Post reported that the area has turned into a drug-filled free-for-all.

A spokeswoman for City Hall on Tuesday called the situation “entirely unacceptable” and claimed that Health Department outreach workers would be deployed to clean up the area at West 40th Street and Broadway.

But no workers were seen Wednesday morning — as one man used a needle to inject himself in the arm with an unknown substance while seated at a table with three others. Syringes were spotted on the table.

Security officers with the Garment District Alliance, meanwhile, power-washed the pedestrian plaza, do using the pavement with what appeared to be bleach as three individuals snoozed nearby.

“There have been outreach programs out here, but most of the time they don’t accept the help,” one of the guards, who’s worked in the area for seven years, told The Post.

The City Hall spokeswoman said outreach workers would provide syringe-disposal kits, naloxone to reverse overdoses and try to connect users to treatment.

“We will do everything we can to connect these people with drug treatment and help, so they can get their lives back on track,” the spokeswoman said.

The Post observed no outreachworkers in the plaza between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

When confronted with that data, the rep claimed, “They were there today. Our teams have been on the ground this afternoon. Julie Coleman,
