The out-of-place extremity was spotted by a resident returning to his parked car in Riverwood about 7.30am on Wednesday.
He reported the discovery to police, who found blood on the front door of a nearby unit.
Officers forced entry to the Kentucky Rd property about 11am.
"A man was located inside, missing part of his finger," police said in a statement on Thursday.
The 26-year-old man was treated by paramedics and taken to hospital.
Police said they had been called to a unit early on Wednesday in the neighbouring suburb of Narwee after reports a person had part of their finger amputated.
Officers had arrived at the Ventura Ave unit shortly after 3.30am and spoke to the occupant, before an unknown man fled via a balcony.
Police have set up crime scenes and forensically examined both units and the car where the finger was found, with investigations continuing.
