When a reporter knocked on the door of a New York City professor, who recently went viral for accosting anti-abortion students, she answered by holding a machete to his neck. Shellyne Rodriguez, an adjunct art professor at Hunter College, told New York Post reporter Reuven Fenton this week to “Get the f–k away from my door, or I’m gonna chop you up with this machete,” according to the paper. Fenton tracked down Rodriguez after a video circulated online of her berating anti-abortion students distributing pamphlets at Hunter College.

She was promptly fired Tuesday, the school told the Post.
