Rush with the rent (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tear

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'rush' is the first definition.
(tear is a kind of rush)

'the rent' is the second definition.
('tear' can be a synonym of 'rent')

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for tear that I've seen before include "A rip and a sign of sadness" , "Lacerate - sign of sorrow" , "A rip goes on a binge?" , "Drop secreted by the lacrimal glands" , "Rend; travel in haste" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
