Bleeding is considered good for a wound because it cleans the injured area. However, you should not let a wound bleed too much. If the wound continue to bleed apply pressure and raise the level of the wound above the heart if possible to decrease blood flow.
Blood also contains clotting agents, which will help to create the scab that will cover the wound during the healing process.
