Canada's National Energy Board has indefinitely postponed hearings in Montreal on TransCanada Corp's (TRP.TO) proposed Energy East pipeline after protesters on Monday disrupted the first day's session, an agency spokeswoman said.

Montreal police said three protesters were arrested on obstruction charges, with two of the three also charged with assaulting a police officer.

Footage posted on Twitter by local media showed protesters at the downtown venue standing, clapping and chanting at the panel.

"Our first priority at any hearing is always the safety of all participants," NEB spokeswoman Sarah Kiley said in an email. "Once we have determined how we will hear from those intervenors in Montreal who were scheduled to present today and tomorrow, we will share that information."

Environmental groups opposed to Canadian oil sands development have fought the 1.1 million-barrel-per-day Energy East pipeline, which would carry crude oil from Alberta to Canada's Atlantic coast.
