Reports of a suspicious package at The New York Times Midtown building caused a scare on Monday evening.

The NYPD responded to the Gray Lady offices on Eight Ave. between W 40th and 41st St at about 8 p.m.

Earlier in the day, the FBI notified the paper that a Times editor was on a list of potential targets kept by the suspect who allegedly sent bombs to high-profile liberals and critics of President Trump, according to an email the paper sent to staffers about the incident.

A suspicious envelope addressed to that editor — that sources said looked similar to those allegedly sent by Cesar Sayoc Jr. — was discovered in a newsroom mailbox Monday evening.

But an initial scan of the envelope showed only paper inside, sources said.

The NYPD bomb squad confirmed the package was harmless, giving the all-clear at about 9 p.m.
