He’s Head & Shoulders below your average shoplifter.

A drunken dandruff-shampoo thief dashed out of a Duane Reade near Times Square on Friday afternoon — and ran smack into a tour bus, breaking his leg and at least one of the plastic bottles of stolen suds.

The man wound up splayed out on the pavement on 47th Street at Eighth Avenue, along with nine $8.95 bottles of Head & Shoulders Old Spice Swagger Shampoo for Men.

He was placed on a gurney and taken to Bellevue Hospital, said a police source, who described the suspect as 39 years old, homeless, emotionally disturbed and “highly intoxicated.”

A Times Square cleanup crew quickly mopped up the blood and shampoo splatters.

“I heard a bump near the back wheels,” bus driver Lamont Dashield, 62, recalled of his surprise role in thwarting the shampoo heist.

Dashield, who drives for DC-based Chariots for Hire, said he had just dropped off a busload of tourists at Radio City Music Hall and was traveling west on 47th Street at the time.

Police said Dashield had the green light.

“I didn’t see anything, but when I heard the noise, I stopped,” he told The Post.

“By the time I got out of the bus, the police were already around him next to the shampoo.”

“That’s all I saw,” he added.

“Twelve years I’ve been driving buses, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Wild.”

An employee at the drugstore told The Post that the shampoo-petrator is a “regular” there.

“Everybody knows him,” said the worker, who identified herself as Tracey C., 26.

“He comes in once or twice a week and steals anything. If it’s not shampoo, it’s Red Bull,” she said.

“We’re not allowed to keep him out, and we’re not allowed to stop him,” she said.

“I hope he doesn’t come back.”

The man has not been charged, police sources said.
