Weapon from overseas used in brawl at Highbury (5)
I believe the answer is:
lathi
'weapon' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in brawl at highbury' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LATHI' is hidden within 'brawl at highbury'.
'from overseas used' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lathi that I've seen before include "instrument of punishment" , "Indian truncheon" , "Long, heavy stick" , "club used by an Indian policeman" , "Indian police baton" .)
