Poor Lucid! He really needs to be examined by a vet for treatment. The wounds will need to be cleaned and the bleeding will need to be controlled. He will also need an antibiotic to treat infection. Without an antibiotic there is a good chance he will develop an abscess from the bite wounds. Hope he recovers quickly.
