Violent attack (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assault

'violent attack' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for assault that I've seen before include "raid" , "Lash" , "Attack suddenly" , "Mount an attack" , "Attack violently" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Mirror, The Independent and the Sydney Morning Herald.
