Human leg found abandoned on New York Subway track

[NBCnews] The NYPD said the leg was found at about 1 p.m. ET on Saturday in the Concourse neighborhood of the Bronx.

A human leg has been found abandoned on a New York subway track, police said, sparking an investigation into who it once belonged to and how they lost it.

The NYPD said the leg was found at about 1 p.m. ET on Saturday in the Concourse neighborhood of the Bronx, between 167th Street and 170th Street, on the line of the 4 train, according to a statement given to NBC 4 New York.

No details were released about the leg, such as whether it appears to be from a male or female, nor the possible age of its owner.

New York's medical examiner is now examining the leg to find out more details and potentially solve the mystery.

#1 A disembodied human leg found on Bronx subway tracks could be the partial remains of a man dragged for miles that were then hidden for days, according to police sources.

Authorities were puzzled when a man’s left leg was discovered in the path of a northbound 4 train between the 167th Street subway stop and 170th Street subway stop around 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

The leg was taken to the medical examiner’s office to be tested, but authorities believe it was separated from a man hit by a train miles away and days earlier, sources told The Post.
