Yes, you should apply direct pressure to a bleeding injury to help control profuse bleeding. Use a clean cloth or bandage and press firmly on the wound, maintaining pressure until help arrives or the bleeding stops. If blood soaks through the cloth, do not remove it; instead, add more layers on top to avoid disrupting any clotting. If possible, elevate the injured area above the level of the heart to further reduce bleeding.
