Attacked violently (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assailed

'attacked violently' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for assailed that I've seen before include "Under attack" , "Violently attacked" , "Went for" , "Set upon" , "became aggressive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
