Face attack in street? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mug

I believe this is a double definition.

'face' is the first definition.
(informal term for face)

'attack in street?' is the second definition.
(to mug someone is to rob them in the street)

(Other definitions for mug that I've seen before include "Large drinking vessel or slang victim" , "Idiot" , "Large cup without a saucer" , "Cup; stupid person" , "Beaker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
