The “Occupy City Hall” protesters left behind a foul mess after turning a series of sidewalk grates into makeshift latrines during their month-long encampment in Lower Manhattan, an MTA supervisor revealed Wednesday.

“All the people who were here were going to the bathroom in the vents,” the transit boss said.

“They were s–tting and pissing in the vents. They were using this as a facility, as a bathroom. It’s unbelievable what’s in there.”

The supervisor was overseeing several workers with the unenviable task of using poles to poke disgusting brown sludge from between the bars of the metal grates.

The workers were also using a hose and broom to wash away the filth, which was littered with paper, cigarette butts and other debris.

A sanitation worker assigned to clean up the area said the problem wasn’t confined to the grates, located near the Citi Bike rack on the plaza at the southwest corner of Chambers and Centre streets.

“Apparently there is human s–t everywhere,” the worker said.

MTA spokeswoman Kayla Shults said that the grates “provide ventilation for the subway system” but noted that there’s “a pan that catches anything that goes through.”

“The team that was down there at Chambers Street was a vac team, so they could get the vac out and make sure the grate was completely clear,” Shults added.

It’s unclear how much human waste may have fallen through the grates.

Several hundred NYPD cops broke up the Occupy City Hall encampment early Wednesday morning, about 10 minutes after warning everyone gathered there to disperse, Chief of Support Services Raymond Spinella said during a news conference afterward.

Seven people who refused to leave were taken into custody, including a person who threw a brick at a cop, NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea said.

“Luckily, that officer had a shield. It left a dent, I’m told, in the shield, but nobody was injured,” Shea said.

The brick-thrower will be charged with attempted assault on a police officer but the others “will be released on minor summonses,” Shea said.

About 70 protesters and homeless people were given the boot during the operation, WABC-TV reported.
