Set upon (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

assail

attack

'set upon' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for assail that I've seen before include "Attack, lash out" , "Attack violently and persistently" , "storm" , "Go for" , "Criticise severely" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Irish Times, The Sunday Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
