A disembodied human leg was found on the tracks between two Bronx subway stations over the weekend as cops seek answers on the gruesome discovery, authorities said. 

The body part was discovered charred and still wearing a pant leg just after 1 p.m. Saturday on the roadbed between the 167th and 170th Street stops on the No. 4 line, police said.
