A gamer from New Jersey became so furious with a rival player from Florida that he flew to the Sunshine State to physically attack him with a hammer. The two individuals had initially connected through a fantasy online game, but their disagreement quickly turned into a heated argument that spilled over into the real world.

A private school student in Devon has been found guilty of three counts of attempted murder after carrying out a hammer attack. The boy had initially claimed that he was sleepwalking at the time of the incident.
