Cockney injured with a knife? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cockney injured' is the first definition.
('harmed' - similar in meaning - said with a cockney accent, dropping the 'H')

'with a knife?' is the second definition.
(carrying a knife)

(Other definitions for armed that I've seen before include "Munitioned" , "Carrying a weapon" , "Prepared for attack" , "unlike the Venus of Milo" , "Given weapons" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
