Sudden rush of a crowd (8)

I believe the answer is:

stampede

(Other definitions for stampede that I've seen before include "Neat rush" , "Headlong rush of animals" , "uncontrolled flight" , "collective flight" , "Sudden dash of a group of startled animals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
