The manic Manhattan arts professor who held a machete to a Post reporter’s neck and threatened to “chop” him up surrendered to police Thursday.

Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, was caught on camera wielding the blade and spewing menacing remarks Tuesday outside her Bronx apartment.

She surrendered to the 43rd Precinct in the Bronx just after 7 a.m. Thursday.

The shocking chain of events unfolded when the veteran Post reporter knocked on Rodriguez’s door to ask her about viral footage of her cursing out Hunter College pro-life students.

But will she be prosecuted, let alone convicted and do time? We'll see.

[Jeff Chandler]

She can claim it was performance art.

[HighSierra5]

Cutting edge journalism.

[realcleanguy]

The mayor of NYC will say she was attacked because of her race and blame Trump.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

First we have men turning themselves into women, then women turning themselves into men ... now we have a crazed lunatic turning herself into the police. I’ll retire to Bedlam.

She can claim either: She was on medication, or not on medication...

They’ll let her go, but sit at Nancy’s desk and you’ll get 4 1/2 years in prison.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

My guess is that they’ll charge her with some misdemeanor and then let her plea bargain it down to something even more trivial, with an hour or so of community service as a penalty.

Can't understand that wimp reporter just standing there with a machete at his throat. Waiting to see if she if she would cut him or not.
I'd have put her on the ground in about 1.5 seconds.

[bankwalker]

maybe he was part of the act ...

And with the legal trouble out of the way, on to a career at an Ivy League school. or Duke or Stanford.

[mware]

Brag will let her go, watch.

[LIConFem]

Pure theatre.

[Mark17]

That sounds about right. The bastards.

[Dan in Wichita]

Can't understand that wimp reporter just standing there with a machete at his throat.

That was my reaction too. With a machete approaching his head, why on earth did he not take evasive action? Apparently, he trusted her not to slit his throat. If it had been me, I would not have taken that gamble.

Well, Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" doesn't seem to fit here.

Two people wearing masks, wtf?

Two people wearing masks, wtf?

A sign of submission, not unlike the way Saudi women dress.

[Mashood]

She belongs in prison where she can impress the inmates with her artistic knowledge.
