“How Barron Trump Helped Stop a Brutal Assault”
Barron Trump is being credited with stepping in during a frightening situation.
According to court testimony, the son of President Donald Trump helped save a woman in London, England, who was being violently attacked by her former boyfriend. The incident occurred last January and came to light during court proceedings on Wednesday.
The woman told the court that her ex, Matvei Rumiantsev, became enraged out of jealousy over her friendship with Barron, which ultimately led to the assault. During the attack, she managed to contact Barron through FaceTime.
After receiving the call and realizing what was happening, Barron immediately contacted emergency services. Audio of the call was played in court, revealing Barron calmly speaking with a dispatcher without identifying himself. He told the operator, “I just got a call from a girl I know. She’s getting beaten up,” before providing her location so police could respond.
Officers arrived at the scene shortly afterward. The victim informed police that she was friends with Barron Trump, and body camera footage captured one officer remarking that the emergency caller was likely the president’s son.
Police later contacted Barron directly to confirm the details. He explained that he had met the woman through social media and that she was crying during the call, describing that she was being “really badly beaten” for about 10 to 15 seconds.
Barron told authorities he believed calling the police was the safest and most effective response. He said he chose not to call back or confront the attacker, worried that doing so could escalate the violence.
His quick decision to alert authorities is now being viewed as a decisive action that helped bring help to the scene when it was urgently needed.
