Two men are recovering after they were slashed with a machete early Tuesday morning in Fordham, sources said.
The attack was captured on surveillance video at about 3 a.m. at 2310 Walton Ave.
The video shows several men appearing to get into an argument at a homeless encampment next to a bodega.
In the video, a man in a white t-shirt is seen striking in a downward motion, but it is unclear what type of object he may have been holding.
Police said two men were slashed in the attack - a 34-year-old man was slashed on the head and a 39-year-old man was slashed on the left hand.
Sources said the attack stemmed from an argument with a homeless man.
The injured men were taken to SBH Health System and are expected to recover.
No arrests have been made.
The Department of Homeless Services put up a notice near the encampment that said it would be cleaned up next week.
