Early Friday morning, police and sources reported the discovery of a human head and torso inside a trash bag outside a residence in Brooklyn.
The dismembered body was found on the sidewalk adjacent to 557 E. 21st St. in the Flatbush area, shortly after 9:14 a.m.
Sources indicated that the initial call was made to 311 regarding a âbad smellâ emanating from apartment 6F, which was later directed to the police via 911.
