A man’s dismembere­d remains washed up on a Brooklyn shoreline, officials said Tuesday.

A jogger running along Shore Road in Bay Ridge made the grisly discovery near Oliver St. about 12:45 p.m. on Monday, cops said.

First responders brought the remains ashore, which consisted of the trunk of a man’s body missing its head, two arms and one leg. They searched the waters for the missing body part, but found nothing.

The body had been in the water for some time and was badly decomposed, sources said. It wasn’t clear if the body parts had been severed or if they broke away during decomposit­ion.

Cops are trying to identify he man. The city medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine how he died.
