Human remains have been recovered from a popular Brooklyn tourist spot for the fourth time in a matter of months, according to NYPD records.
The latest incident happened last week, when officers responded to Brooklyn Bridge Park around 12:45 p.m. Thursday after remains were spotted along the shoreline.
Police officials said bone fragments were found among the rocks of the shoreline.
Thursday’s discovery follows three separate incidents in August when police reported finding bones or human remains near that same area.
The first discovery was reported back on Aug. 19, when police said they found remains in the water near the park following a 911 call. Apparently, a woman had spotted the remains and alerted an NYC Parks worker in the area.
The following night, just after midnight, police said more remains were found along the shoreline. Someone had spotted “skeletal remains” among the rocks, according to police.
Police went back to the park for a third time in August, on the 31st, after yet another report of remains near the park. Officers found additional remains around 7 p.m.
Police officials refused to comment on whether the cases were related.
