Raid in the street (6)

I believe the answer is:

inroad

'raid' is the definition.
(inroad can mean a raid or attack)

'in the street' is the wordplay.
'the street' becomes 'road' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in'+'road'='INROAD'

(Other definitions for inroad that I've seen before include "Encroachment; hostile attack" , "Encroachment, intrusion" , "Offensive" , "Incursion, raid" , "Ordain (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
