Machete-wielding NYC professor who allegedly chased reporter turns herself in to cops, claims she's a victim

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."

Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, turned herself in to police around 7 a.m., according to the New York Post. It's unclear if she was charged.

She told ARTnews through her spokesperson that Hunter College, where she was an adjunct professor, fired her because the school "capitulated" to "racists, white nationalists, and misogynists."
