On 30 December 2020, Rory Fagan drove to the home of Cuffe, a 49-year-old man, in Slieve Rua, Moate, Co Westmeath, after a heated online argument about pandemic fatality levels during a Battlefield V session. Fagan was stabbed three times during a struggle, sustaining injuries to his right chest, upper abdomen, and lower back, with the knife lacerating his liver. Cuffe pleaded guilty to assault causing harm at Mullingar Circuit Criminal Court in July 2024. In April 2025, Judge Keenan Johnson sentenced Cuffe to 240 hours of community service instead of a two-year and nine-month jail term and ordered him to pay €7,000 compensation.
