The manic Manhattan college professor who threatened a Post reporter with a machete has been fired, the school said Tuesday — as it emerged she is suing the NYPD for allegedly abusing her during the 2020 George Floyd protests.
Shellyne Rodriguez was sacked by Hunter College just hours after the adjunct professor was caught on camera holding the blade to the veteran reporter's neck while threatening to "chop" him up outside her Bronx apartment.
"Hunter College strongly condemns the unacceptable actions of Shellyne Rodriguez and has taken immediate action," school spokesman Vince Dimiceli 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."
The unhinged art professor wielded the machete and spewed the menacing remarks after the veteran Postie approached her regarding a viral video that showed her flipping out on pro-life students at Hunter College earlier this month.

In other developments, it also emerged Rodriguez is currently embroiled in a legal saga against the NYPD over allegations officers abused her when she was arrested in the Bronx during a George Floyd protest in June 2020.
Rodriguez, who is the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, claims she suffered nerve damage from being zip-tied when she was nabbed and put in a prisoner van with 14 other protesters.
The lawsuit claims Rodriguez was attacked by cops while trying to leave the protest.
Officers allegedly pulled her hair, shoved her face into a gate and repeatedly punched her in the stomach, according to court filings.
Once she was in custody, Rodriguez told a cop her restraints were too tight, but the officer "yanked on [her] zip ties hard and tightened them even further" - causing her to "scream out in pain," the suit says.

Rodriguez "felt pain with every jerk of the van during the lengthy ride" to the precinct, court papers allege.
She claims the zip ties weren't removed for the next two hours and by then, her wrists were already severely injured.
Rodriguez claims she suffered swelling and a slew of long-term injuries, including bilateral thumb numbness from nerve damage, as a result of her arrest.
The lawsuit adds that the injuries also impacted "her ability to make art."
The charges against Rodriguez from the protest were later dismissed in September 2020, the suit says.
The case is slated to return to court in July, filings show.

Another gay liberal snaps.
Chases reporters down the street with machete .....
Do we need to post about another "straight" white christian shoots up a school?

Didn’t get to read your post before it got whacked.
I’m sure it was very constructive and positive in nature .....
Trust me, you didn't really miss anything.
Now, when is she going to add this to her list of fictional things she's a victim of?
Just one more professional.
Professional victim.
Probably got it from Trump.
But But But Trump
Nah, more like the skell mentality that just goes with many liberal causes.
Oh boo hoo! Rodriguez has complained about the vile and hateful things people have said about her. The individual just cannot get it that the vile and hateful one is her and she is simply reaping what she has sown. Zero sympathy for her whatsoever and I hope she goes to jail, but as this is New York City she will probably walk!
Have the liberals nominated her for any awards or sainthood yet?
Just give them time.
I'm sure there is someone out there that is contemplating making a statue in her honor, and some left wing loon city will allow it to be put up in the town center.
Yep, and definitely name that in her honor.
The machete-wielding NYC professor who allegedly threatened to "chop up" a New York Post reporter surrendered to police Thursday morning, even though she insists she's the victim and said the entire incident "has taken a toll on my mental health"
A nutty professor thinks her mental health is in danger
