A human bone washed up near the iconic Jane’s Carousel along downtown Brooklyn’s waterfront early Wednesday — two days after a parks worker discovered other skeletal remains there, cops said.
Cops spotted the bone — described as a human leg or part of one — along the East River shoreline on Water Street in DUMBO at around 12:20 a.m. when they responded to a 911 call, authorities said.
The chilling find follows the Monday morning discovery of a skull and bones in the same area, cops said.
