Come to a halt, stop short (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draw up

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'come to a halt' is the first definition.
(drawing up is a kind of coming to a halt)

'stop short' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for draw up that I've seen before include "Draft" , "Compose" , "table" , "Prepare (document)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
