Ottawa, Ontario (CTV/CNN) - Sounds like something out of a horror movie.

Police in Canada's capital are investigating after a bloodied human foot was mailed to a political party office.

The package arrived this morning at the Conservative Party of Canada's headquarters. It was not addressed to a specific person.

Authorities were called when a worker noticed bloodstains after partially opening the package.

Hazmat teams were brought in to examine it.

"At present we're investigating that package. There's nothing more that I can tell you at this time. And-anything further will be coming from our major crime department," said Sgt. Steve Hodgson with the Ottawa Police Department.

[Reporter]: "There are reports that it's a foot. Can you confirm that?"

"I can't confirm that at this point," said Sgt. Hodgson.

The coroner's office in Ottawa has confirmed it was a human foot.

Authorities are looking into why it was sent to the Conservative Party headquarters and who the foot belonged to.
