Kicked and pulled audibly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toed

'kicked' is the definition.
(hit with one's toe)

'pulled audibly' is the wordplay.
'pulled' becomes 'towed' (I've seen this before).
'audibly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'towed' sounds like 'TOED'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for toed that I've seen before include "inferior terminal projections" , "Kicked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
