Since you have been bitten by a street dog (or any dog. Anti rabies vaccine is compulsory. & since there is bleeding from the wound. Its a category 3 exposure, which will need tetanus toxoid+ anti rabies vaccine + rabies immunoglobulin be sure to wash the wound with soap & water under running tap for atleast 20 minutes. Thanks.
