'intercept one' is the definition.
'tap' can be an answer for 'intercept' ('tap' can be a synonym of 'intercept'). I am not certain of the 'one' bit.

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for tap that I've seen before include "1dn to get on the phone, perhaps!" , "Knock gently" , "Bugging device" , "Stopper enabling withdrawal of liquid" , "Thread cutter; strike" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
