Crush has fellow getting broken leg (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mangle

'crush' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fellow getting broken leg' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before**).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'leg' is an anagram of 'gle'.
'man'+'gle'='MANGLE'

'has' is the link.

(Other definitions for mangle that I've seen before include "Device for squeezing water out of clothes" , "Old device for wringing clothes" , "Butcher" , "Squeeze" , "Old-fashioned clothes dryer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
