Breaks hands, etc., in Kidnapped (8)
I believe the answer is:
snatched
'kidnapped' is the definition.
('snatch' can be a synonym of 'kidnap')
'breaks hands etc' is the wordplay.
'breaks' is an anagram indicator.
'hands'+'etc'='handsetc'
'handsetc' anagrammed gives 'SNATCHED'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for snatched that I've seen before include "Grabbed or kidnapped" , "Stole" , "Seized suddenly" , "Grabbed suddenly" , "Seized or kidnapped" .)
