At least three people were in custody Tuesday after cops in riot gear clashed with protesters occupying City Hall Park Tuesday as the city council prepares for a budget meeting.

Videos on Twitter show cops moving barricades and pulling protesters to the ground and handcuffing them beginning about 6 a.m.

One person involved in the fray was taken into custody and is expected to be charged with assault on a police officer, authorities said. A second was taken in on allegation of disorderly conduct.

And 18-year-old Dominique Tombeau was arrested at the Surrogate Court across from City Hall Park about 2:40 a.m. after he allegedly sprayed graffiti on a court house statue.

He was charged with making graffiti, criminal mischief, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct, cops said.

The clash with cops may have started as a fight between protesters that got out of control when cops moved the barricades to get at the assailant.

Things had settled by 9 a.m. with protesters still occupying City Hall Park.

Scores of protesters took over City Hall Park last week, vowing to stay until the mayor defunds the NYPD.

@NYCMayor 's @NYPDCT unit drags and stomps a singular woman across the street behind a barricade seemingly unaware, while protestors cried out to have them help her. Reported also that they broke someone's arm, knelt on someone's neck. #OccupyCityHall #DefundThePolice pic.twitter.com/piqM0dH7WV
