Human Leg Found Floating in East River in Manhattan

A human leg was found floating in the East River near the FDR and East Sixth Street Thursday, authorities say. 

Cops responding to a 911 call found the limb floating against the rocks shortly before noon. The body part was taken to the medical examiner's office. 

Details remain scarce at this point, but an NYPD spokesperson said, "When you find a leg in the water, that's suspicious in itself."
