Part of a severed finger has been found on the windscreen of a car in southwest Sydney.

The fleshy tip was uncovered by a resident who went to enter their vehicle before they noticed it resting on the windscreen wiper on Washington Ave in Riverwood about 7.30am on Wednesday.

They then phoned police, who located a unit with blood on the front door in nearby Kentucky Rd.

Officers forced entry into the unit and, inside, they found a 26-year-old man who had part of his finger missing.

He is now recovering in hospital.

The latest severing of a body part comes after at least five people had fingers, toes and even teeth removed from victims after being kidnapped in February and March. Pictured is a man being arrested in relation to some of those incidents.

In a statement, NSW Police said that paramedics had earlier gone to a unit on Ventura Ave in Narwee about 3.30am on Wednesday when they received a call about a finger being severed.

Police also went to that Narwee property and spoke to an occupant, but when they were there an unknown man jumped a balcony and ran away.

Police have established three crime scenes: where the finger was found on the car, at the Riverwood unit where the man was found and at the Narwee Unit where paramedics were first called.

The latest severing of a body part comes after at least five people had fingers, toes and even teeth removed from victims after being kidnapped in February and March.

Garden shears were used in most of the amputations.

In one incident, a woman was blindfolded before the tips of her fingers and toes were cut off.

She was then tied to a tree in a small NSW north coast town before she was able to free herself.

Another victim, Peter Vuong, was allegedly kidnapped in March from an address in Smithfield before being held in a house at Belmore for six days.

During that time, police allege he was tortured and pliers were used to remove his teeth after they had been dislodged using a pistol in his mouth.
Mr Vuong is not accused of any wrongdoing or being involved with drugs.
