CANAL workers in Nanjing, eastern China, were astonished when a black binliner was hurled from the bridge above them - containing a human leg.
The grisly discovery was made after workers dredged the bag from the waterway and found a man's leg apparently amputated below the knee.
Workman Ju Po, 27, said: "It was terrifying. It was still early in the morning and this bag came over the bridge with a great splash. When we looked inside it, we didn't know what to think."
Police are now trying to discover if the leg is part of a dismembered body being disposed of by a killer or illegally dumped human waste from a hospital.
A police spokesman told the Austrian Times: "We think it belongs to a man because of the size and the hair on it but beyond that there are very few clues."
