The bicycle courier whose after-curfew arrest Thursday night wound up in a viral video was in fact making deliveries — despite NYPD claims to the contrary, reps for the company where he worked told.

After facing backlash for arresting the courier — who as an essential worker is exempt from the 8 p.m. curfew — police officials claimed the man had not been making deliveries at the time.

But the app he was working for, Caviar, said that’s not true.

“Our records indicate the courier was doing deliveries during the evening the incident took place,” a spokesperson for DoorDash, which owns Caviar, said in a statement.

The 19-second video clip shows the man screaming at cops while being stripped of an insulated delivery bag and handcuffed.

“Are you serious!?” the man says as he was being detained, explaining that he can prove through Caviar that he was allowed to be out.

“I’m not even doing anything!” the man said.

“You’re violating curfew,” a cop responds.

“It tells me on the app that I can show you guys something! It tells me that I can show you guys you can’t arrest me!”

But the police ignored his pleas. After questioning, the man was released without charges, the NYPD said.

The incident drew condemnation from Mayor Bill de Blasio, who tweeted the arrest was “unacceptable” and that he spoke about it with NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea.

“Just got off the phone with NYPDShea after seeing the troubling video of a delivery worker arrested by police while doing his job,” de Blasio tweeted. “This is NOT acceptable and must stop. Food delivery is essential work and is EXEMPTED from the curfew.”
