MANHATTAN - Police believe they may have solved the mystery of how a severed human leg ended up on subway tracks in the Bronx and it started all the way down on Spring Street, cops said. 


Investigators believe the leg belongs to a man whose body was discovered days earlier at the Spring Street station. The severed leg was found 9 miles away in the Bronx five days later. 


Cops theorize that the man fell or jumped onto the tracks at the Spring Street station on February 12. The body was discovered but the leg could not be found. 


On February MTA workers removing snow from the tracks found the severed leg between the 167th and 170th Street subway stations of the Number 4 line in the Bronx. 


Investigators believe the severed leg was dragged 9 miles uptown to the Bronx. 


The NYPD is awaiting DNA testing to confirm that the leg belonged to the same victim.  


The victim’s identity has not been released. 

Location: Spring St, New York, NY 10013, USA
