Human leg found on New York subway track

A human leg was discovered on the subway track bed in the Bronx over the weekend, prompting an investigation by the NYPD. 

The leg was found between 167th and 170th streets along the No. 4 subway line in the Concourse neighborhood around 1 p.m. on Saturday.

Details surrounding the discovery remain scarce, with no information provided on how the leg came to be there or the identity of the individual to whom it belonged.

The lack of identifying information further complicates the investigation.

The city’s medical examiner has taken custody of the leg to conduct further analysis in an attempt to ascertain its origins. Subway service was temporarily halted but resumed later in the afternoon.
