New York's gigantic subway system is the scene of rare dramatic incidents, such as when passengers are pushed onto the tracks by criminals or people with mental disorders.
A human leg was found along the New York subway tracks over the weekend, a macabre episode that has police in the American metropolis searching for the body, she said on Tuesday.
According to the NYPD (New York Police Department), its officers responded to a call at midday Saturday reporting that human “remains” had been found along the tracks of the 4 train in the Bronx borough.
“Upon arrival, officers noted the presence of a human leg,” police added in a statement.
