#1 A disembodied human leg found on Bronx subway tracks could be the partial remains of a man dragged for miles that were then hidden for days, according to police sources.

Authorities were puzzled when a man’s left leg was discovered in the path of a northbound 4 train between the 167th Street subway stop and 170th Street subway stop around 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

The leg was taken to the medical examiner’s office to be tested, but authorities believe it was separated from a man hit by a train miles away and days earlier, sources told The Post.

To our credit," said Head, Lost and Found,
"But forewarned is forearmed...
All will henceforth be charmed
When they crawl in and bleed on the ground!"
