also as a second choice can use the word "continuously"

Example: ...he has cut his hand and it's continuously bleeding

But the first choice is more accurate

continuously/without stop


Explanation:
I think here, in an informal usage, همین‌طوری expresses the continuity of the action taking place. We can't simply say here it's همین‌طور+ی, because we use همین‌طور independently in such a sentence or even هِی can be used instead of them: از دستش هی خون میومد

like anything


Explanation:
The other suggestions are good too.

Literally this means "in this way" but colloquially in English a kid would say something like "he's bleeding like anything/like crazy...or he's bleeding like it won't stop"
