Break up crowd (5)

I believe the answer is:

crush

I believe this is a double definition.

'break up' is the first definition.
(crushing is a kind of breaking up)

'crowd' is the second definition.
(crush is a kind of crowd)

(Other definitions for crush that I've seen before include "An infatuation with the orange drink?" , "Fruit drink; crowd" , "Suppress - infatuation" , "Passion - fruit drink?" , "Squash" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
