It was a typo... Look up 'amok'. Basically running amok is running around crazy...
I learned something new about it too. Was wondering why it wasn't used elsewhere...
Amok, or running amok, is derived from the Malay word mengamok, which means to make a furious and desperate charge. Captain Cook is credited with making the first outside observations and recordings of amok in the Malay tribesmen in 1770 during his around-the-world voyage.
