New York City officials have a mystery on their hands after a possible human limb was discovered floating off Staten Island on Sunday by a tugboat worker.

The New York City Police Department responded to a 911 call just after 11 a.m. on Sunday for a report of what looked like human remains floating in the water.

The extremity, according to police, was found in Great Kills Harbor on the southeastern side of the borough and appeared to be the lower limb to the foot.
