A human leg found in the snow along the New York Subway tracks in the Bronx belonged to a man fatally hit by a train, the police reported yesterday.
The leg was found between 167th and 170th streets around 1 pm on Saturday the 17th. Sources told Pix11 that a train driver was sweeping after that morning’s snow storm saw the leg on the tracks and stopped before stepping on it.
It is probably about a man who was fatally struck by a train at the Spring Street station in Manhattan on February 12 and probably a subway train dragged his leg for several miles to the Bronx without anyone noticing, he reported ABC News.
The leg was turned over to the city’s Office of the Medical Examiner (OCME) to determine if it belonged to the same person who was run over. The man was not wearing any identification at the time of his death. and the case is not considered suspicious.
In January 2023, it was estimated that some 3,400 homeless people were living in subway cars and stations and other trains in NYC, many with mental illness or emotional disorders and sometimes carrying out acts of violence or being run over. Overall, train collisions with people on platforms and rails have seen an alarming 25% increase over the past four years (2018 to 2022).
In December, an apparently emotionally disturbed man shook rush-hour Metro-North service at Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan (NYC) by run naked on the rails.
In October, a Latina teenager was fatally run over by the New York Subway, hours after a man’s body was found in a car with drug paraphernalia.
