'Li fè yon va sou mwen', What is "va" here?

expression Fè yon va → to intimidate, to scare, to take by surprise;  also: to suddenly crowd or swarm someone /something all at once.

Li fè yon va sou mwen.
He jumped at me.
He tried to intimidate me.


Yo te tèlman swaf yo fè yon va sou machann nan.
They were so thirsty, they all at once crowded the merchant
