Attack drawer with papers (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raid

'attack' is the definition.
(I know that raid is a type of incursion)

'drawer with papers' is the wordplay.
'drawer' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academy of Arts member - someone who draws).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'papers' becomes 'ID' (short for identification papers).
'ra'+'id'='RAID'

(Other definitions for raid that I've seen before include "Finch and Bronson starred in . . . . On Entebbe" , "A sudden attack or incursion" , "Invasion" , "Smash-and-grab?" , "Search by police without warning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
