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.
