A terrified New York City man called 911 late Wednesday to report discovering a human bone inside a closet wall at his newly bought Queens residence.
Police responded to the Edgerton Boulevard, Jamaica Estates home shortly before midnight.
The 23-year-old owner told officers that he had moved into the residence less than a couple of months ago.
