Jamie Carragher responds after 'snatching phone' from Nottingham Forest supporter

Jamie Carragher has been filmed appearing to snatch a phone from the hands of a Nottingham Forest fan.

The former Liverpool defender was walking down from the commentary box when the incident happened following Forest's home defeat to Tottenham last month.

Carragher, 44, was with stewards when a Forest supporter appeared to push their phone into his face. He was then filmed grabbing the phone out of the supporter's hand while others taunt the Sky Sports commentator. He then gestures to other supporters.

Forest supporters can then be heard collectively chanting more abuse at Carragher, before he turns round and shrugs his shoulders in their direction.

When asked for comment about the incident, Carragher said: “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.”

Meanwhile, an eyewitness to the incident told the Mirror : "He was getting a lot of stick when he was coming down the stairs and then he stopped and grabbed some lad's phone. He seemed pretty riled up by it all - at one point I thought he was going to properly kick off."
