Handle roughly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maul

'handle roughly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for maul that I've seen before include "Manhandle" , "Injure by pawing" , "Wound by scratching and tearing - rugby move" , "Paw" , "Treat roughly or savagely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The New York Times, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
