Law & Order Treatment
The latest Law & Order treatment, as reported by the Daily News:
A blood-curdling scream pierced a dark Brooklyn subway tunnel early yesterday when two transit workers found a bloody trash bag packed with an arm and two legs.
It works something like this:
FADE IN:
INT. SUBWAY TUNNEL
We HEAR a BLOOD-CURDLING SCREAM. We SEE two TRANSIT WORKERS uncover a BLOODY TRASH BAG packed with an arm and two legs.
Back to the article:
The transit workers were setting up lights for a cleaning crew when they spotted a bare foot sticking out of the bag. The sight was so sickening that the first worker who saw it started to scream hysterically.
“We didn’t understand what he was saying,” the other worker told The News.
“He was blurting, ‘There’s a leg! There’s a leg!’ At first, I thought someone was under a train.”
“At first when you looked at it, it didn’t look real . . . But then under the bag you could see a trail of blood,” the worker added.
“People can be vicious.”
Peering inside the bag, cops saw an arm and two legs. The legs had been cut off below the hips.
The blue recycling bags were found shoved between the tracks and the tunnel wall, near an emergency exit that leads to the street above.
The bag with the body parts was split on both sides along the seams because of its heavy load. There were no signs that it had been dragged along the trackbed, the worker said.
Cops later found the bloody tools and drill bits a few feet away, near the northbound tracks.
. . .
Joelle Washington, 20, could barely speak about the friend she’s known since kindergarten.
“I just hope they find all of him so he can rest in peace,” she said sadly.
Yuck.
