Crowd disturbance, uproar (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riot

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'crowd disturbance' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'uproar' is the second definition.
(both can mean a disturbance or commotion)

(Other definitions for riot that I've seen before include "Public act of violence by an unruly mob" , "Violent disturbance by mob" , "The unruly may run this" , "unrestrained revelry" , "Civil disturbance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
