Barron Trump, the youngest son of the US president, may have saved a woman's life by alerting the police during a video call, a London court has heard. The incident occurred a year ago when Trump was on a video call with a woman who cannot be named due to legal reasons. During the call, Trump witnessed Matvei Rumiantsev, a Russian citizen, allegedly attacking the woman by repeatedly punching her. Minutes later, Trump phoned the police, providing the woman's address and describing the situation as an emergency. Rumiantsev, 22, from east London, is facing charges of rape, intentional strangulation, perverting the course of justice, assault, and actual bodily harm. He denies all the charges. The court heard that Rumiantsev was jealous of Trump's relationship with the woman and became angry when he tried to contact her earlier that evening. When the police arrived, the woman confirmed her friendship with Barron Trump, Donald Trump's son, and Trump explained that he had seen her crying and being attacked during the earlier call. During cross-examination, the woman emphasized the impact of Trump's intervention, stating that his call was like a sign from God at that moment. After the alleged assault, the woman reported being raped twice by Rumiantsev to the police. When the defense suggested that the account was fabricated, the woman strongly denied the accusation, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and the potential harm to those affected. The trial is ongoing.
