In frenzy, Eddy let men run riot (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dementedly

'in frenzy' is the definition.

'eddy let men run riot' is the wordplay.
'run riot' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'eddy'+'let'+'men'='eddyletmen'
'eddyletmen' is an anagram of 'DEMENTEDLY'.

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
