The video footage from the aftermath of the incident shows Carroll swaying on his feet as onlookers hold him back. Witnesses described how the 35-year-old engaged in a fight with a man after leaving a restaurant, despite initially seeming to have had a pleasant evening enjoying drinks and Asian cuisine. According to reports, the altercation spilled onto the street, with Carroll seen rolling on the road with the other individual.

Witnesses expressed surprise as security intervened and the other man disappeared. Despite attempts to calm him down, Carroll was heard shouting for the other person. Carroll, who currently plays for Amiens in the second tier of French football, explained that he joined the club last summer after feeling the need to try something different following his time at League One side Reading.

He mentioned feeling the pressure of age and a new manager’s desire for a younger team, prompting an honest discussion which led to his departure. Additionally, the text also mentioned treating community members to special offers, promotions, and advertisements from the club and its partners, with an invitation to leave if dissatisfied with the community.
