A woman testified in a London court that her friend, Barron Trump, unexpectedly intervened during a violent assault last year. The 19-year-old son of President Donald Trump reportedly answered a FaceTime call from the woman and immediately called emergency services after witnessing the attack. UK police responded to the scene on Jan. 18, 2025, shortly after 2 a.m. local time.

The woman, whose name has not been released, said her ex-boyfriend, 22-year-old Matvei Rumianstev, allegedly attacked her out of jealousy over her friendship with Trump. According to bodycam footage from the day of the incident, Trump was heard telling officials, “I just saw a ceiling and could hear screaming. I could see a guy’s head on the phone, and then the camera turns to her crying and getting hit.”

Barron made the call after initially trying to reach his friend for a casual conversation. The FaceTime call lasted only 10 to 15 seconds, but that was enough for him to relay the situation to emergency operators. During the 999 emergency call, he stressed, “It’s really an emergency, please. I got a call from her with a guy beating her up,” providing the address for police to respond.

When authorities arrived, the woman confirmed to police that Barron Trump had called, leading officers to note on bodycam footage, “So apparently, this informant from America is likely to be Donald Trump’s son. This female is friends with Donald Trump’s son. She was on a FaceTime with him when this assault happened, and he’s called us.”

During her testimony, the woman said Trump “helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment.” She credited his quick actions with potentially preventing further injury or worse during the violent encounter.
