Sudden attack (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

raid

'sudden attack' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for raid that I've seen before include "Sudden short attack" , "Enter a territory and take spoils" , "Stock Exchange activity" , "A sudden military attack and withdrawal" , "Surprise police visit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, The Sun, the Evening Standard and the Newsday.
