A man discovered at an industrial site with his pinky fingers and a toe cut off after a suspected kidnapping and torture is in hospital in a critical condition.
Security guards at the site on Wentworth Street, Greenacre in south-west Sydney were alerted to the man when he stumbled into their booth bleeding from his injuries about 8.30pm Friday night.
The 30-year-old was also reportedly covered in acid – with his mother telling reporters ‘they threw something in his eyes’.
The industrial warehouse where the man was found is understood to hold ammonia.

Emergency crews rushed to the warehouse and transported the man to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
Relatives of the man, his mother and a young woman, were seen visiting him on Saturday with the mum telling the Daily Telegraph her son was ‘not very good at all’.
‘They chopped off his fingers and toe,’ she said.
‘They threw something in his eyes.’
Police have established a crime scene at the industrial site with blood droplets visible on concrete steps outside the warehouse.
