A court hearing on Jan. 21 revealed that Barron Trump, the 19-year-old son of former President Donald Trump, may have prevented a woman’s life from being taken after he saw her being attacked on a video call.

Court Hearing Reveals Barron Trump’s Intervention

During the hearing, a transcript obtained by News Of Los Angeles showed that Barron called the City of London Police on Jan. 18, 2025 to report a woman allegedly “getting beat up.” The call was made just about eight minutes after the alleged assault.

> “It’s really an emergency, please,” Trump said on the call.

Barron also admitted he didn’t know the attacker’s name and apologized for being rude after initially refusing to explain how he knew the woman. The call was made at 2:23 a.m. local time, according to The Times.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed that the male caller was Barron, 19.

Details of the Alleged Assault

The woman, who has not been named, had met Barron on social media. She was allegedly attacked by her ex-boyfriend, Matvei Rumiantsev, a 22-year-old Russian citizen from east London.

Rumiantsev is accused of grabbing the woman’s hair, pushing her to the floor, and shouting, “You are not worth anything.” He has denied assault, bodily harm, and two charges of rape, intentional strangulation, and perverting the course of justice.

> “He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment,” the woman told the court, according to The Times.

The alleged assault occurred while the woman was on a video call with Barron. She had been in a relationship with Rumiantsev for about six months before the incident.

Rumiantsev reportedly tried to call the woman earlier that evening, which allegedly made him jealous of Barron’s communication with her. This claim was made during the hearing and reported by The Guardian.

Police and Court Response

Body-cam footage captured police arriving at the woman’s property. She told officers, “I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son.” One officer responded, “So apparently this informant from America is likely to be Donald Trump’s son,” the paper noted.

The case was brought before Snaresbrook Crown Court in London on Jan. 21 and continued into Jan. 22. The court heard cross-examination from attorney Sasha Wass.

> “I didn’t invent that. That would be completely evil and disgraceful toward people who have been in that situation,” Wass replied when the woman’s account was questioned.

Wass suggested that the woman’s account might be fabricated, but she denied the allegation.

Both Wass and London’s Metropolitan Police declined to comment on the case when approached by News Of Los Angeles.

Witness and Legal Commentary

The woman later filed a complaint alleging that Rumiantsev raped her twice, according to The Independent. She also claimed he attempted to strangle her during the argument.

The court hearing highlighted the complexity of the case, involving a public figure, a private citizen, and allegations of serious criminal conduct.

Broader Context and Reactions

News Of Los Angeles reached out to the White House for comment. While the incident is still under legal review, it underscores how quickly a single call can alter the trajectory of a potentially violent encounter.

Key Takeaways

• A 19-year-old public figure’s timely call may have prevented a fatal outcome.
