Person who's pursued landing-place around banks of river (6)
I believe the answer is:
quarry
'person who's pursued' is the definition.
'landing-place around banks of river' is the wordplay.
'landing-place' becomes 'quay' (I've seen this before).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'banks of' means to remove the middle letters (the banks are the sides of the word).
'river' with its centre taken out is 'rr'.
'quay' placed around 'rr' is 'QUARRY'.
(Other definitions for quarry that I've seen before include "victim" , "Excavation for extracting stone or slate" , "Hunted animal; stone pit" , "Prey or stone pit" , "Pit for extracting stone or slate" .)
