Bone fragments found at NYC waterfront park in third chilling discovery near carousel
Bone fragments were discovered along the shore of Brooklyn Bridge Park on Saturday — the third time this month that possible human remains were found at the riverfront park.
The latest grisly find came shortly before 7 pm, when cops received a 911 call about bones in the rocks along the shore, an NYPD spokesman said Sunday.
The city medical examiner’s office was dispatched to the scene and is testing the bones, police said.
A human skull and other bones were found along the Brooklyn park’s shoreline twice earlier this month.
The first batch of bones, including the skull, were found near the iconic Jane’s Carousel shortly before 9 am on Aug. 19.
Two days later a human bone was found around the same area at around 12:30 am.
According to law enforcement sources, police suspect the remains belong to one person.
The NYPD would not comment further.
In January, police found the body of a 13-year-old girl lying facedown along the shore near the Fulton Ferry Landing pier after she washed up at the park, authorities said.
