Jamie Carragher has been a regular TV pundit since his retirement from football in 2013

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has been suspended from his role as a Sky Sports pundit after video footage emerged of him spitting towards a girl in a car, the television company said on Monday.

Carragher has apologised for the incident, which took place after Liverpool lost 2-1 to Manchester United on Saturday, calling it โ€œa moment of madnessโ€.

The 40-year-old former England international was summoned for talks with Sky Sports who had earlier described his actions as โ€œunacceptableโ€.

Carragher was driving home after summarising on Manchester Unitedโ€™s win over Liverpool at Old Trafford when he apparently became involved in a conversation with the occupants of an adjacent car.

A video taken from the car, released on the website of several British newspapers, clearly shows Carragher spitting.

In the video the father of the girl can be heard shouting: โ€œUnlucky Jamie lad. Two, oneโ€.

โ€œTotally out of order and Iโ€™ve apologised personally to all the family this evening,โ€ Carragher said on Twitter.

โ€œI was goaded 3/4 times along the motorway while being filmed and lost my rag. No excuses, apologies.โ€

Carragher, who joined Sky Sports after retiring as a player in 2013, has become a popular pundit working regularly alongside former United defender Gary Neville.
