A National Action Network director and a second protester were issued trespassing tickets during a demonstration at the newly opened Amazon warehouse in Brooklyn’s East New York Friday evening, a law enforcement source told The Post.

The incident happened between 5 and 6 p.m. at the tech giant’s massive new distribution center on Linden Boulevard.

Summonses for trespassing and disorderly conduct were given to Kevin McCall, who is crisis director for NAN, and a second male protester, according to the source.

McCall could not be immediately reached for comment.
