Police in New York City confirmed they are investigating after someone found a human leg on subway tracks in the Big Apple over the weekend.
Just after 1 p.m. on Saturday, officers responded to a set of tracks in the Bronx for a report of human remains being found, the New York Police Department told USA TODAY on Tuesday.
Arriving officers from the 44 Precinct discovered a human leg along the roadbed of the northbound “4” line between the 167 Street and 170 Street train stations, police reported.
"The leg was removed and the investigation remains ongoing," the spokesperson wrote in an email.
Who does the leg belong to?
Police did not release additional details about the leg including if the person it belongs to is male or female, their age or whether that person is still alive.
They also did not say how they believe the leg may have ended up on the tracks or whether foul play was suspected.
USA TODAY has reached out to the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to see whether they have identified who the leg belongs to.
