He just randomly handed me the phone. Or
He just randomly hands me the phone.

The text meaning the 'dialogue', not the words to describe the situation.
For example:
Person A: Hello!
Person B: Hello!

It started and ended w/ what I typed since I had nothing to say at that moment I just gave the phone back to my friend.
My question is should I have used hands or handed at that moment where the situation had taken place.
