Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
Caught between Scylla and Charybdis

2) A man is unreasonably throwing his anger to (e. g. he's shouting angrily at) a third person while he is indeed angry with the second person.

Can't think of anything immediately - If I think of anything, I'll come back.

Thank you very much in advance for your kind help.
