A fetus was found stuffed in a black bag and ditched in a pile of leaves behind a Brooklyn public housing development Thursday, cops and law enforcement sources said.
The fetus of a boy — believed to be between 5 and 7 months old – was found just after 11 a.m. behind a building on East 102nd Street, within NYCHA’s Bay View Houses in Canarsie, authorities and sources said.
The lifeless body was discovered stuffed in a black bag and buried among a mound of fallen leaves, the sources said.
