Jamie Carragher snatches phone from Nottingham Forest fan in angry exchange at the City Ground

Footage has emerged of Jamie Carragher snatching a phone from a football fan during an angry confrontation at a recent match. Watch the video below.

The clip, which has circulated on social media, was filmed at Sunday's Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Tottenham at the City Ground.

Former Liverpool defender Carragher, who was working at the game as a pundit for Sky Sports, can be seen walking down the steps of a stand housing Forest supporters.

Carragher initially appears in good spirits, receiving a slap on the back from one fan and shaking hands with another.

But one supporter in the crowd can then be heard calling the Liverpudlian a "Scouse b*****d".

Carragher is then angered by another fan who films him walking down the steps of the stand.

Carragher confronts the supporter and snatches away his phone, before giving it back and being escorted down the steps by stewards.

He has since played down the incident, telling The Mirror: "I was being escorted from one part of the City Ground to another, past some vocal fans with plenty of heckling.

"For me, no harm was intended from either side."

An eyewitness told The Mirror that Carragher appeared to be angered by the abuse he had received from the home supporters.

"He was getting a lot of stick when he was coming down the stairs and then he stopped and grabbed some lad's phone,” the eyewitness said.

"He seemed pretty riled up by it all - at one point I thought he was going to properly kick off."

Carragher was previously suspended by Sky in 2018 after footage emerged of him spitting in the direction of a 14-year-old girl.

The former England international reacted angrily after being goaded by a Manchester United supporter in his car following a 2-1 defeat for Liverpool at Old Trafford.

Carragher later apologised for the "moment of madness" and was reinstated to his role at Sky after a five-month period away from screens. 

He later told Gary Neville on The Overlap: "Coming home from Old Trafford and then when I lost my job at Sky - I'm someone who's quite on the front foot, if someone attacks me.

"But that knocked me for six months. For a good six months I wasn't myself. I'd get up in the morning and just have that pain in my stomach, oh that did happen. I went to see Steve Peters [a psychologist] after it. I felt really bad, embarrassed, my family, my mum or dad. And the kids.

"I remember getting back to the house that night when I'd been at Sky. I haven't seen the kids, they're at school, and you just get back and we all sat together and it was tough.

"Even though we're in the public eye, we're not the royals, Beckham, big stars. You read them on the front page. When it's you, everywhere I went it felt like people were looking at me."

Carragher added: "It'd come back to me, but it was done. I owned it. I didn't blame anyone else. I accepted it. I took my medicine. Whatever s*** is thrown at me I'll take it. And that's the way I was as a player."
