Mystery surrounds origin of human leg found on New York subway
New York’s mass transit experience took a grisly turn over the weekend when a disembodied human leg was found on the 4 line between 167th and 170th streets in the Bronx.
Detectives are trying establish who the limb belongs to and how it got on a subway track bed. The city’s medical examiner later took possession of the leg to find out more about its origins.
Authorities could not confirm if the leg belonged to a man or woman, or how much of the limb was found.
The discovery came after a notable run of incidents on the subway, including a cellist being struck with a metal water bottle at Herald Square and a mass shooting at a Bronx subway stop that killed one person.
