The Brooklyn woman arrested three times in the span of five days — getting released twice without bail thanks to new criminal-justice reforms — was ordered held for a psychiatric evaluation on Wednesday following her latest bust.

Tiffany Harris, 30, was kept in custody for the mandatory tests at an unspecified city hospital following a Brooklyn criminal court hearing, on the orders of Judge Joseph Gubbay.

She was back in the criminal justice system after an arrest on New Year’s Eve for a run-in at a court-mandated meeting with a social worker, according to authorities.

Officials previously said that Harris had blown off the meeting, but prosecutors alleged on Wednesday that she had pinched the social worker during the sit-down.

Her lawyer, Jacqueline Caruana, denied that Harris had done anything untoward during the meeting — and insisted that her client is mentally sound, objecting in vain to her hospitalization.

Harris, who wore a black coat and gray sweatpants, nodded her head at points throughout Wednesday’s 30-minute hearing, but let Caruana do the talking.

The latest legal saga for Harris — who has more than a dozen total arrests to her name — began on Dec. 27, when she allegedly slapped three Orthodox women in Crown Heights while saying, “F-U, Jews!”

She was released without bail on Saturday in advance of new, soft-on-crime reform laws, only to be arrested again on Sunday for allegedly punching a woman unprovoked.

Harris — who has pleaded not guilty to both alleged crimes — was again freed on Monday, though she was mandated to meet with the social worker.
