Bedlam, perhaps, in a little shop man's running (6,8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mental hospital

'bedlam perhaps' is the definition.
(bedlam is a kind of mental hospital)

'a little shop man's running' is the wordplay.
'running' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'little'+'shop'+'man'='alittleshopman'
'alittleshopman' is an anagram of 'MENTAL HOSPITAL'.

'in' is the link.
