In the beautiful city of New York, something peculiar was recently found on the train. Amongst the normal piles of piss, shit, vomit and garbage was a new addition: someone’s leg. This wasn’t a prosthetic leg, either — this was a full-blown, flesh and blood leg.
calling a dismembered leg on the subway tracks “abandoned” is an objectively hilarious way to put it https://t.co/NAFNF6YXfj

“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,” reads a piece from NBC News.
As of now, no one is really sure whose leg it is or how it ended up in a Bronx subway terminal. However, according to a video from TikTok user and New York Post reporter Haley Brown, the leg may have come from someone several miles away — and been dragged to the Bronx underneath a train.

“Police told me that they think that the leg was from a man who jumped on the tracks in Lafayette,” she explains. “[The] train hits him, the leg becomes detached from his body, goes into the four train tracks. Then, a 4 train comes by, picks up the leg in its undercarriage and then drags [the leg] all the way up to the Bronx.”
Brown notes that this is a distance of about nine miles and that the police don’t suspect any criminal behavior led to the man falling onto the tracks.
(Takes deep drag of cigarette) back before this city was gentrified if you found a leg on the subway you got to keep it https://t.co/Pe5X1KiYQC

Thankfully for New Yorkers, the discovery of a whole-ass leg on the tracks only interrupted service for a little bit, and soon, the 4 train was carrying on as normal. But if this story is wrong and you’ve been wondering where your leg is, give the NYPD a call — I’m sure they have it on ice waiting for you.
