A professor at a New York City art college has been fired after she aggressively challenged pro-life students on campus, then pulled a machete on a reporter.
Shellyne Rodriguez, 46, was an adjunct professor at the School of Visual Arts and Hunter College.
Earlier in May she angrily confronted students manning a pro-life stand inside the college, swearing at them furiously - then destroying the display.
When asked about the incident at her home in the Bronx, Rodriguez drew a machete and held it to the throat of the reporter at her door, threatening to 'chop' him up.
When New York Post reporter Reuven Fenton and his photographer colleague left, she followed them out the front door, machete still in hand.
'Hunter College strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of Shellyne Rodriguez and has taken immediate action,' said Vince Dimiceli, a spokesman for the school.
He told The Post: 'Rodriguez has been relieved of her duties at Hunter College effective immediately, and will not be returning to teach at the school.'
It also emerged on Tuesday that Rodriguez is suing the NYPD after she was arrested in 2020, during the George Floyd protests.
Rodriguez claims in her lawsuit that police officers pulled her hair, shoved her face into a gate and repeatedly punched her in the stomach.
She was arrested in the Bronx and put in a police van with 14 others.
She had her hands restrained with zip ties, which she alleges were so tightly-bound for two hours they caused her lasting nerve damage, impacting her ability to create art.

Needs to be arrested.
She was fired because she pulled the knife on the reporter, NOT because of the incident with the pro-life kids. I pity the next college who hires this lunatic.
Must not be her machete gripping nerves.
It is Ivy League material. Just get some tenure before you pull the knife again.
She’ll be the new co-host of the view in a few weeks. Meanwhile, she’ll be invited on CNN and MSNBC and may even bet invited to the White House.
