CONSTRUCTI­ON workers repairing sewers near a Brooklyn psychiatri­c hospital unearthed human remains Monday afternoon, police said.

The workers were using heavy equipment to dig at Clarkson Ave. by E. 48th St. (photo), on the grounds of the state-owned Kingsboro Psychiatri­c Center in East Flatbush at about 1 p.m. when they found a skull, arm and leg bones, police said.

The remains were 13 feet undergroun­d.

The city medical examiner determined Monday night the remains belonged to a human, police sources said.

Cops could not say how long the bones had been buried there.
