Barron Trump reportedly saved a woman being beaten in a London flat after she made a FaceTime call that reached the youngest son of President Donald Trump. The said call, according to RadarOnline, lasted only for eight minutes, but what he did in those minutes may have saved a person’s life.
The 19-year-old son of Melania Trump immediately called UK emergency services at the time and told the 999 dispatcher exactly what he was witnessing in real time. “I just got a call from a girl, you know. She’s getting beaten up. It’s really an emergency, please. I got a call from her with a guy beating her up,” Barron Trump reportedly said.
When the dispatcher asked how he knew her, Barron Trump explained he had met her on social media. “She’s getting really badly beaten up, and the call was about eight minutes ago. I don’t know what could have happened by now,” he shared.
Authorities reportedly arrived at the scene and found the woman, who was badly injured at the time. Prosecutors revealed Russian national Matvei Rumiantsev, 22, had attacked her out of jealousy over her relationship.

The assaulter allegedly called her a “sl—” and a “wh—,” grabbed her hair, pushed her to the floor, kicked her in the stomach and shouted “You are not worth anything.” When the police arrived, the woman told them who had helped her.
“I am friends with Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s son,” she said. The bodycam footage captured an officer’s reaction: “So apparently this informant from America is likely to be Donald Trump’s son.”
Barron spoke with the officers at the scene and explained his thinking. “I called you guys—that was the best thing I could do. I wasn’t going to call back and threaten things to him because that would just make the situation worse,” the half-brother of Ivanka Trump said.
The woman later testified about what that call meant to her. “He helped save my life. That call was like a sign from God at that moment,” she said in court.

For starters, Rumiantsev used to be a professional MMA fighter before facing some of the most serious charges one can imagine, which include assault and rape. Even while behind bars, he reportedly tried to mess with the legal process and tried to manipulate officers into letting him call the woman he was accused of hurting.
“While you are sleeping in your warm bed, I’m in jail,” Rumiantsev reportedly said as he tried to guilt-trip her. According to reports, he even sent a letter asking his victim to drop the case, which the woman initially agreed to. Thankfully, she found the strength to change her mind and stick to her original narrative.
The most chilling part of the evidence is what Rumiantsev allegedly told her about his motive. “You never want to do this with me, so I make you drink and do this to you,” he reportedly said.
As of the writing, the trial is still playing in court. His lawyer, Sasha Wass KC, is pushing back hard and has claimed that the woman’s story is “untrue and fabricated.”

As for Barron Trump, he surely made his parents, President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, with his act of kindness. He did not hesitate or second-guess himself. And to the woman he saved, he was not just a teenager who happened to witness the assault; he was a “sign from God.”
