In a scene straight out of a Law & Order opening, a fisherman in New York City’s Central Park hooked a human body Thursday, the New York Daily News reports. Luis Castoire said, “I hooked up on something. I went to go look and then when I lifted up my line it was a body. It had sneakers... black-and-white sneakers and it had hair and looked like a male.” Castoire added that he was “freaked out” by the incident.
