City Hall falsely claimed Monday that cops hustled a credentialed Post reporter away from Mayor de Blasio to prevent him from handing Hizzoner a copy of the paper.

Without any evidence, mayoral spokesman Eric Phillips wrote on Twitter that reporter Kevin Sheehan was “doing the classic Post hand-the-mayor-the-paper routine.”

“Reporter or not, the NYPD doesn’t let people run up to the mayor and put stuff in his hands,” Phillips added.

Phillips wasn’t present when members of de Blasio’s security detail physically removed Sheehan for asking the mayor to comment on a Page One story about his administration’s many meetings with lobbyists.

Phillips claimed that “multiple people” told him what happened, and also falsely accused Sheehan of trying to “physically obstruct” de Blasio and “get in the mayor’s face” following a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the start of Sunday’s Dominican Day Parade in Manhattan.

In actuality, Sheehan — who was wearing an NYPD-issued press pass around his neck — had introduced himself to the mayor and was holding a copy of Sunday’s Post to his chest so de Blasio could see it.

On Sunday, Phillips told The Post in an email that he was trying to obtain video of the incident, but he said Monday that hadn’t happened.

A Post photographer at the scene was unable to snap a picture of de Blasio and Sheehan together — because they were separated by at least five feet the whole time.

Councilman Mark Treyger (D-Brooklyn) blasted the mayor’s blatant attempt to muzzle the press.

“A reporter trying to do their job is no threat to public safety,” Treyger said.

“Denying a reporter the ability to do their job is a threat to public safety.”

Reginald Johnson, chief of staff for Councilman Mark Gjonaj (D-The Bronx) also stole a line from de Blasio’s first mayoral campaign, saying the incident illustrated “the Tale of Two de Blasios.”

“It’s not enough to talk the talk of transparency,” Johnson said.

“New Yorkers deserve to have an open government that’s actually accountable to the people it’s meant to serve.”

Sunday’s incident marked the latest — and most brazen — example of the lengths to which de Blasio has been willing to go to avoid tough questions from reporters.

He’s repeatedly come under fire from the New York Press Club for refusing to answer questions at public events, and in 2016 sequestered himself behind barricades so he could grant interviews to select media outlets during the 2016 Columbus Day Parade.

At that time, Phillips claimed the mayor had merely wanted to avoid a “crazy scrum.”

“It allows him to take more questions and to answer those questions more thoroughly,” Phillips insisted.
