The unhinged New York City art professor who held a machete to a Post reporter’s neck after he knocked on her apartment door Tuesday morning is under investigation by the NYPD, according to police.

Shellyne Rodriguez could face assault and other charges over the frightening altercation, which began inside her Bronx apartment building before she chased two Post staffers in the street, according to law enforcement sources.

New York Post veteran Reuven Fenton and a photographer visited Rodriguez to inquire about a viral video from earlier this month in which she freaked out on pro-life students in an expletive-laced tirade at Hunter College, where she was employed as an adjunct.

“Get the f–k away from my door!” she yelled repeatedly before slamming the door in his face.The Post staffers left immediately, but Rodriguez, still armed with the machete, pursued them into the street, dashcam footage shows.

“If I see you on this block one more f–king time, you’re gonna …!” Rodriguez yelled at them.

“Get the f–k off the block! Get the f–k out of here, yo!” she screamed.

She also kicked the reporter in the shins as he tried to get in his car.
