Ranger managed to arrest European (6)

I believe the answer is:

german

'european' is the definition.
(German is an example)

'ranger managed to arrest' is the wordplay.
'to arrest' says the answer is hidden in the clue (arrest can mean to hold or restrain).
'GERMAN' is hidden in the letters of 'ranger managed'.

(Other definitions for german that I've seen before include "Eg, native to Berlin" , "Alsatian" , "Composer, English? Yes" , "foreign" , "Middle European, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
