Two NYPD cops were hurt arresting a convenience-store employee in Midtown Tuesday, police said.

Officers were called to a 7-Eleven store at the corner of Madison Avenue and 33rd Street around noon after a manager allegedly saw an employee on surveillance camera loading up store gift cards without paying, police said.

When cops went to arrest the man, later identified as employee John Wells, he resisted and tried to run out of the store, and the ensuing struggle spilled out on to the street, cops said.

The two officers suffered minor injuries and were taken to Bellevue Hospital. Wells was taken to Mount Sinai West, police said.

He was charged with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, grand larceny, obstruction of governmental administration and false presentation because he gave a fictitious name, cops said.
