Crowded around (6)
I believe the answer is:
mobbed
'crowded around' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for mobbed that I've seen before include "Set upon by angry crowd" , "Fell on" , "Crowded round (someone) in disorderly manner" , "Surrounded in acclaim" , "Attacked by angry or enthusiastic crowd" .)
