(New York, NY) – A grisly story made headlines recently when a human leg was found on the subway tracks in the Bronx. It prompted the obvious questions: whose leg was it, and what happened? 77 WABC’s Curtis Sliwa immediately had a theory. He went to a Lower Manhattan subway station to investigate and found people living along the subway tracks.

Several days before the leg’s discovery, a man was struck and killed by a 6-train in Manhattan. Sliwa posited the leg had been stuck to that train, and that it traveled up to the Bronx in the process — falling off and down onto the adjacent 4-train tracks.
While looking for what he refers to as “mole people” living in the subway system, Sliwa discovered a group on the tracks with their personal items. News reports say the theory connecting the Bronx leg to the person struck downtown have yet to be confirmed.
