Triad thugs running wild (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

distraught

'wild' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'triad thugs running' is the wordplay.
'running' indicates an anagram.
'triad'+'thugs'='triadthugs'
'triadthugs' is an anagram of 'DISTRAUGHT'.

(Other definitions for distraught that I've seen before include "crazy" , "Deeply agitated" , "wild" , "Greatly agitated in mind - hits at drug (anag)" , "Having got the wind up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
