Before providing care, put on protective gloves or use a barrier between you and the victim, to reduce the chance of disease transmission while assisting the injured person. Cleanse your hands thoroughly with soap and water when finished. First of all, call 115 for medical assistance. Then try to keep victim lying down and apply direct pressure using a clean cloth or sterile dressing directly on the wound. Remember not to take out any object that is lodged in a wound; see a doctor for help in removal.  Besides, wash your hands and cleanse the injured area with clean soap and water, then blot dry.
