A police investigation is underway after a human torso was discovered in the bushes in a city's leafy northern suburbs.
Officers arrived at the scene, in bushland along the Lane Cove River in Sydney's north, about 2.30pm on Wednesday after reports human remains had been found.
There, police said they discovered a sofa containing a human torso.
"Police established a crime scene with forensic specialist seizing the unidentified human remains for a post-mortem examination," a police spokesman said.
The remains are yet to be formally identified.
Detectives believed they belong to an adult male.
NSW Police will provide an update later on Thursday and have requested anyone with information contact Crime Stoppers.
