Tayquon Young, 34, is recovering at Bellevue Hospital after having four fingers chopped off. Police say at the time of the attack the victim and the suspect each had a dog with them. Their meeting was captured on video from a deli sidewalk security camera on Southern Boulevard in the West Farms section of the borough.

Only three of his four severed fingers were found, and reattached to his hand over the course of 13 hours of care in hospital.

The dude just swung the knife at me for no apparent reason,” victim Rakeem Tayquon Young said from his hospital bed Sunday.

Surveillance video captured the moment a machete-wielding man sliced off the fingers of a man walking his dog on the streets of New York City. Tayquon Young, a man from the Bronx, had four of his fingers sliced off in the alleged encounter Friday,
